Inni

'Inni' is comprised of a double live album and seventy-five minute film of Sigur Ros' 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, 'Me su eyrum vi spilum endalaust', 'Inni' sees the band at the peak of their powers, captured on film for the first time as a core four-piece since they were joined by string section amiina at the start of the century. Directed by Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire's 'Miroir Noir'), the film is debuted at this year's Venice Film Festival. Licensed

'Inni' is Sigur Ros' second live film following 2007's hugely-celebrated tour documentary 'Heima'. Whereas that film positioned the enigmatic group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their otherworldly music, 'Inni' 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, 'Inni' is spare and near-monochromatic in its tunnel vision. Filmed in a manner that invites both intimacy and claustrophobia, 'Inni' 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 Ros live.

The live album Inni - 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 Ros' in-house studio engineer Birgir Jn Birgisson, 'Inni'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.
