[source: NME.com] Sigur Ros will release a concert film shot in their native Iceland last summer. Heima, out on Monday November 5, was filmed in various locations and features some of the band's biggest and smallest shows of their career. Drummer Orri Páll D_rason told NME.COM: "It was good to film it in our home country. Sometimes we were playing these big shows and then we were playing in those really small fields, which was beautiful. "It was fun doing those shows, especially in front of our friends. Really nice." A compilation album, Hvarf-Heim, will be released on the same day. Split into two sections, the first, Hvarf, features three unreleased tracks, as well as "Von", a radically reworked track from the band's first album. Meanwhile, Heim will feature six acoustic versions of already familiar album tracks. "We are having a clear out, really! One of the songs even dates back to 1994!" D_rason said. "We picked the ones we really like. It's not like a normal album. There are a lot of good songs on there but they didn't fit when it came to putting the albums together."
