LP: Sigur Ros: Inni [Deluxe edition] (2011)

3 LP + DVD + 2CD

Inni is the definitive Sigur Rós live experience – comprising of a double live album
and seventy-five minute film of Sigur Rós’ 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,
Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaus.
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.


Inni is Sigur Rós' 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.
