I really enjoyed rewatching Heima over the last few days, then I realised that there's a commentary track by the manager John, and it provides some interesting details.
It really is a beautiful document, a fascinating atmosphere. I still think the individuals are awkward on screen, modest to a fault, and not so interested in discussing the music with depth, like mid-eighties New Order but much less aggressive.

First concert of the tour last night in Mexico City, opened with Svefn-g-englar and Ný batterí, lots from () and Takk, a lovely version of Fljótavík also, and a couple of new songs.

I like this rewind to the stillness of Valtari.
On first listen there are hardly any songs with prominent percussion or even unprocessed guitars really, loads of strings.
