Sigur Rós continues their assault on my wallet with there latest offering, a limited-edition (3,000) copy of the documentary they scored, Hlemmur, along with a CD of the score and a book of pencil drawings by the band. I'll let them give you the details:From Eighteen Seconds Before Sunrise:
"it comes as a hessian covered hardback measuring 20 x 17cm, with a cute inset plate and the word 'hlemmur' subtlely debossed into the front cover. each copy is individually stamped and numbered 1 - 3,000, and contains 48 pages of beautifully reproduced pencil drawings by members of sigur rós. there is no text, save for track-listings and minimal spine information. a cd of the full musical score comes in a pochette on the inside front cover, while the dvd of the documentary is likewise housed in the inside back cover."
Good god that sounds gorgeous. Take a look at additional the pics below, and check out the trailer at Poppoli Pictures. (Also, if your birthday is quite soon, and you suspect that you might be getting this for that birthday...don't buy it for yourself just yet. Wait a few days...see if your suspicions are true.)
In addition to this, Pitchfork reported today that Sigur Rós will be releasing their new concert DVD, Heima, as well as their new CD (though "new," it's mostly reinterpretations of older material), the double-disc Hvarf / Heim, on November 6th in the states. I suspect as details come out we'll realize that there are some different versions (I still need that book version of the Takk CD!) out there...and I'll do my best to break them down for you. We'll see.
