After four years, there are Icelandic champions in "instead of a trance rock" with a new studio album Valtari (EMI) at the Karlovy Vary send your film Inni. It is in the style of something 2012 jets schedule new? Jónsi et al. correspond to the shrewd.
At the Icelandic musical story is remarkable that independent 2012 jets schedule music here has become one of the pillars of exports. Where are the days when people from sightseeing tour of the island were brought sweater with puffin! I tourist shops are full albums and boards, with lovely Björk and Sigur Rós's just starting. Visitors often they caught 2012 jets schedule on the island to find that the best-selling group on the island last year Hjaltalín (will Colours of Ostrava) is a good power pop, not without 2012 jets schedule relation to the stars Arcade Fire, and the current praise magazine Rolling Stone the band Of Monsters and Men is not unfounded.
All this is made easier by the fact that a flexible action Icelanders set up (in a time of global 2012 jets schedule breakthrough Björk) office for musical export, and is now a busy institution maintaining contact with the entire Western world. This functional support from the state, however, would not do if Icelandic bands dried up the source of inspiration. When Sigur Rós announced the release of a new album, some may ask: How can the story continue těchhle post-rock impressionists, who so clearly define your sound? It will not be always the same? Jónsi et al. It solved quite subtly.
When fifteen years ago published debut Von (Hope), children face on the cover belonged Jónsiho little sister named Inga. It is today (along with another 2012 jets schedule sister Lilja) artist who created the packaging 2012 jets schedule Valtari. It's a shot of the new minimalist clip Ekki soft (which surprisingly is not a word) after the blue-green sea levels slowly inches ship not flying but the ocean, but the sky above him. The ancient, slightly rusty hue and lo-fi obscurity resemble popular Instagram filter "mrvítko" which today while you wait summon to mobile and other images flavor of nostalgia and vintage atmosphere.
Now Instagram phenomenon to the Icelandic quartet snug fit. Sigur Rós in their sound always had a sort of anachronistic message from an isolated place, something hermit, introverted. 2012 jets schedule The feeling unwittingly affirmed (sometimes 2012 jets schedule a little schematic) music video with autistic dancers or a boy, which despite 2012 jets schedule machistickému father wakes homosexuality. 2012 jets schedule
New Valtari betray anyone who has an idea how Sigur Rós' 2012 jets schedule should be read as ". Yet after a few minutes of surprise. The complete album is composed of protracted areas in which the chorale melodies unfold in slow pace hibernated body. The actual individual tracks are fully accessible, but a complete set of eight slow-motion film has the power to disorient and subdue listeners heart rate. As the singer Jónsi position to shoot faster 2012 jets schedule solo album Go (2010) and the rest of them spilled onto the soundtrack to the film We Bought The Zoo (We Bought a Zoo).

Among today's creators are not few of those who feel that the fast world would be good to slow down a bit, or at least the perception of the possibility of slower attention. It might be too much of a cunning, if we ascribe Sigur Rós such ambition. Rather, they came in search of where to go, to a specific shape. If their previous album Med sud í eyrum vid spilum endalaust (2008) can be seen as "the most cheerful", then Valtari will be remembered as "terribly slow". It can be seen that Sigur Ros today to taste test their skills and audience.
If anyone should want the dynamic form Sigur Rós, lively band can offer even a novelty. At the Karlovy Vary will be listed in the concert film Inni (Inside), which was at the end of last year, premiered in London contemporary art gallery ICA. Black, 2012 jets schedule artistically přeludné Inni is conceived as a counterpart of the previous film bands, colorful road movie Heima. Despite the detail is turning inward to alchemy live interplay also listening experience. Originally 2012 jets schedule filmed on digital, whereupon the material was transferred to celluloid classic, re-screened 2012 jets schedule and scanned again - sometimes necessary through the prism of glass objects. Strong impressionistic mood helped achieve Karl Lemieux, artist group Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The passage of the concert film extra interrupts unexpectedly and stirs the archival footage - including home movies of the band's pre-p
