I won’t spend too much time writing about how absolutely stunning INNI (the new Sigur Ros concert documentary) is. Sigur Ros is a band that is difficult to categorize but almost everything they’ve ever written, especially the () album, straddles the edges of chaos, despair and hope. To listen to them live is to be blown wide open; I become porous when I listen to them, as if opening myself to something bigger, something better. So if you can’t see them in person, watch INNI. And if you have seen them in person, watch INNI anyway. The performance of “Untitled 8” at the end of the film is just epic, like make you want to give up on making music forever epic. I’d hate them for being a perfect band if Jonsi weren’t so damn magical. He’s like a unicorn and no one can hate a unicorn.
