Do these few words remind you of a high school building? I think these words are more appropriate to describe sigur ros! A peaceful island, a clean land, and a lake as bright as a mirror make for such an admirable band!

It is said that post-rock has come to an end, but that may be because we don't really understand post-rock, maybe the post-rock we understand is the same line: fresh-frenzy. After watching this movie, I learned that behind the freshness is the snow-capped hillside, the blue sky, the spotless air, the happy children playing, the leisurely life of the people in the town... That frenzy means galloping The rivers, the waterfalls that flow down, the calm and the subterranean frenetic ocean (Iceland is famous for its geothermal heat, so the underground should be frenzied oceans?), the living souls of people! Live endlessly! People's hearts are calm and spotless, and their hearts are like mirrors, let us respect this nation (in a world of ice and snow, people can use wisdom to build their own homes and form their own unique culture, don't we let it be? Do you admire it?! Is this the spirit of post-rock?

There is also a post-rock band in China called oneway. They have a very interesting name. They were formed in the south of Yunzhi, the treasure land of the bright moon in Kunlun. They are also good at using folk music and fresh music. The rhythm and the frantic climax make me think that post-rock may only belong to those spotless places, and only such a place can breed such a clear melody!

Besides, this movie is very beautiful! Of course, it is impossible to make a film in such a land without being beautiful. The use and change of light and shadow in the film is a masterpiece of Impressionism! We went on a trip to Iceland with sigur ros under the beautiful music, not so much the band members are us Our tour guides, rather their music guides us on this dreamy, fairy tale land...everyone has peace and serenity on their faces, children and puppies play and frolic at the live band, and so on. Harmony! Even the logs abandoned by the seaside people are so charming! Decadent! What would you see if it were an abandoned beach in our country, I'm afraid it's only decadence, and common development can only see dead fish and plastics rubbish...

This documentary reminds me of the French yann who are also good at post-rock/instrumental music, they are also experimental! Sigur ros should be the first to play electric guitar with a bow! That far-reaching voice from the sky belongs only to that cold country. Yann knelt on the ground and played with the toy piano, plucked the small guitar in the car, and his band played together with a set of mini instruments, basically playing with balloons The guitar simply brings the French childishness and humor to the extreme!

Hehe, how can I end without a good relationship, I always write with a head and no tail, so be it :) By the way, the name means home in Icelandic, and the video also records them returning to their own country for a free tour after the world tour In return to the fathers and the villagers, everything is so harmonious and soft! Like the language of Iceland, it makes people feel the real dream...

Sigur Rós: Heima quotes

  • Band member: It's kind of a safe haven for us, Iceland. We are left on our own here.

  • Jon Thor Birgisson: I think Kjarri's grandmother, she went to the concert and thought it was really loud, and then heard it was on TV, too. Like, "It was on the TV! Let's go home! If it's on TV, let's go home and watch it on TV." Then it was the end of the last song and these crazy backdrops and stuff, like really intense. Then she thought something was wrong with her TV and shut it off. I think it's nice.
