We watched the Sigur Ros DVD that Susi bought for me as a Christmas gift. Disc one of Heima is stunning, totally mesmerising. Iceland is presented in a way that simply requires you to get on a plane to be there, immersed in that surreal, astonishingly beautiful but stark landscape. The band come across as simply the sweetest, humblest likeable bunch of young men you could imagine as they talk about their tour of Iceland, of coming home to a place of refuge and renewal (except they don’t use such terms). And the music leaves me breathless. It’s brilliant, brilliant stuff. Unique.
