Hvarf/Heim

I picked up the new Sigur Ros double EP Hvarf/Heim this afternoon. It is glorious. Hvarf consists of 5 previously unreleased studio tracks from the last 10 years or so. Most of it I have heard via live bootlegs and leaked studio tracks, but it is nice to finally hear a polished/finished version of them. Heim contains 6 rare live acoustic versions of tracks that have very seldomly been performed by the band. The first track is the first ever live performance of Acoustic #3 from the album ( ). For those of you who don't know, this was the bridal processional from our wedding this past summer.
I have listened through the albums twice already that it has been wonderful. I highly recommend it for anyone with a love for Sigur Ros.
