a free copy of "Festival (Live)" right now!
2011, XL Recordings
VINYL FORMAT. Includes a digital download card! Inní is
the definitive Sigur Rós live
experience, comprised of a double live
album and a seventy-five minute concert
film, capturing Sigur Rós' last show
before their well-documented "indefinite
hiatus" at the end of 2008. Recorded and
shot over two nights at London's
Alexandra Palace, at the close of the
world tour around their fifth full
length album, Með suð í eyrum
við spilum endalaust.
The live album Inní – a first for the band – is comprised of the full set from Alexandra Palace, played in order with just one omission, and clocks in at one-and-three-quarter hours. Recorded by Sigur Rós' in-house studio engineer Birgir Jón Birgisson, Inní's live audio recording is far and away the best way of replicating the full-force effect of standing in front of one of the world's most extraordinary bands for an evening.
Inní, Sigur Rós' second live film following 2007's hugely-celebrated tour documentary Heima, was directed by Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire's Miroir Noir) and captures the band as a core four-piece for the first time since they were joined by string section amiina at the start of this century. The film debuted at this year's Venice Film Festival on September 3, 2011. Inní focuses purely on the band's performance, and stands as a stark counterpoint to Heima's kaleidoscopic richness. Where Heima was lush and colorfully expansive, Inní is spare and near-monochromatic in its tunnel vision. Filmed in a manner that invites both intimacy and claustrophobia, Inní cocoons the viewer in a one-on-one relationship with the band, eschewing the audience for closeness, depicting how it feels for both band and fan to experience Sigur Rós live.
When taken in together, Inní's live album and film give us an incredible account of one of the most celebrated and influential rock bands
