CONTEST: Sigur Ros Film “INNI” (TIFF Bell Lightbox)

sigur ros

A few days ago, I posted something about the new Sigur Rós film INNI.  As it happens, the film will be screening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox and thanks to them, I’m able to offer up a pair of tickets to the screening.  In this entrancing concert film/documentary, Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Rós melds its stunning sonic landscape with intoxicating visuals.  Canadian director Vincent Morisset—who previously chronicled the Arcade Fire’s Neon Bible tour in the 2008 documentary Miroir Noir—uses split-screen effects to immerse us in the band’s spectacular, almost cinematic live performances and contrasts it with intimate, introspective moments offstage. The film has the band covering songs from all of the band’s four albums, so something for every fan of the band.

Want to go?  I have a pair of tickets to the 8:45pm screening on Friday, Oct. 28th.  E-mail me at indiemusicfilter @ gmail . com with INNI in the subject line, I’ll pick a winner next wednesday.  The deadline to enter is wednesday, Oct. 12th at noon EST.

And here’s “Festival” again from the film, so good I have to post it twice.

Currently Listening To: The XX, Washed Out, Fredrik, Rain Machine

Don’t really have too much time to post today, or in the next couple of days with TIFF already started. So here’s a post with a couple posts in it.

-Listening to British hype band The XX and their song Basic Space (from Fader). Its got me interested, but I think I’ll file it under subdued, chill. Check out their video for Crystalised on imf tv here.

-Check in with Daytrotter to hear new sessions from Canadian bands The Rural Alberta Advantage and Junior Boys.

-Watching some video sessions at What You See Is What You Get. New ones from The Most Serene Republic and One Eskimo. Think I was on this site last while settling my Frightened Rabbit fix, scroll down to watch some post toronto show acoustic street sessions.

-Finally, I keep coming back to Stereogum to hear the best new music. They’ve got a new Washed Out track called Belong, the new Rain Machine (TV On The Radio‘s Kyp Malone) song ‘Smiling Black Faces’ and a new track from Baroque Swedish sextet Fredrik (called ‘Locked In The Basement‘).
