Near it’s DVD release, Sigur Ros has posted the entire documentary for free on their website and Youtube.
As Stereogum writes:
“For us, you, and the other 600,000 people that know who the band are, this is a huge deal. For everyone else it will just be confusing.”
It has taken up almost the entire front page of Youtube (all the featured vids etc.)… Way to get the vid to a HUGE audience with already 100,000 hits. Hopefully this is the first of many band docs to be hosted on the site.
Sigur Ros has announced some theatrical screenings of their documentary Heima.
If you haven’t peeped the DVD check the trailer because it is real ill:
