封面中几位男女在蓝天绿野苍穹间赤裸的奔跑着,像开始着一段美丽梦幻的旅程,更像是一次向纯粹灵魂的回归。在聆听Sigur Ros这张新作品的时候,我一直在思考它究竟在表达着什么。音乐截然不同的节奏明快,显现出了风格上的重大转变。Sigur Ros已经从以往阴冷的氛围中走了出来,开始展示出他们明媚的一面。我像这张专辑也许正是通过这种明亮的感觉传递着一种纯粹的回归吧。听完这张作品之后,突然感觉内心的浮躁仿佛随着音乐彻底消散了。第五首和第七首是专辑中最打动我的曲子,依然带着他们Sigur Ros以往作品的影子,空灵般的感觉引得人心中涌出一段段回忆般思绪。让我们经历着Sigur Ros带给了我们又一次灵魂般洗礼的感动,随着他们开始一段盛夏之旅吧! 专辑原名为《Mee Sue í Eyrum Vie Spilum Endalaust》,英文翻译名为《With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly》,被充译作:苍穹耳语无尽无垠。封面选自纽约视觉艺术家Ryan McGinley名为I Know Where the Summer Goes摄影系列,欣赏过这组摄影作品之后,也深深的震撼了我。Ryan McGinley,他是纽约国际摄影协会最年轻也是最杰出的摄影师奖项得主。他的作品离不开青春这个主题,拍摄对象往往是社会上的边缘分子,构图直接,用色简单利落。Ryan McGinley代表了在Youtube和Myspace环境下成长起来的新一代年轻人,他们将自己的私密生活制作成视觉日记给大家观看。I Know Where the Summer Goes拍摄于2007年夏天,带着16个模特,三个助理,弄了4000个胶卷。 Ryan McGinley作品:

November 5 sees Sigur Rós release a 2 CD set featuring all-new recordings titled "Hvarf - Heim". The album has two titles because it is in effect two separate, but complementary, entities with two front covers and is issued as a limited edition run of two discs. Open it one way and it's "Hvarf" ("disappeared" or "haven") a five track electric studio record comprising mainly unreleased rarities from Sigur Rós's back-pages, none of which features on "Heima" (the double DVD release issued on the same day). It features three previously unreleased songs (Salka, Hljómalind and Í Gær) alongside radical re-workings of two tracks from their debut album "Von". Open it the other way and it's "Heim" ("home"), a six track live acoustic record, comprising delicate new unplugged versions of some of Sigur Rós's finest moments, which have never been performed in this way before. The band were originally planning to release a more traditional live album to go with the "Heima" tour film, but instead decided upon "Hvarf-Heim" - infinitely more stimulating and exciting than some "will-this-do?" toss-offs of songs they honed to perfection in the studio aeons ago. Hljómalind / Starálfur is released as a limited edition double A-side 7" vinyl single on October 22 as a taster for the album release, but also to celebrate the UK Premiere of the "Heima" film which is on October 24 as part of the BBC's Electric Proms.
