23/11/2009

 

seven sigur rós songs and one jónsi & alex song comprise most of the soundtrack to the new british film, the boys are back. the songs featured in the film are illgresi, festival, fljótavík, straumnes, ára bátur, inní mér syngur vitleysingur, samskeyti and indian summer. director scott hicks told icelandic movie blog iceland on screen:

“initially, i used their songs as a temporary score, but it was working so perfectly that i decided to approach the band directly to see if we could licence the music. i was forewarned that they were extremely picky about what they would allow their music to be used for, but i went to iceland to screen for them and they simply loved the film.”
