Posted by LetsLoop on November 24, 2016, 11:20 am To celebrate the 2nd series of the BBC's Planet Earth, Sigur Rós have recorded a new mix of Hoppípolla, which originally appeared on their 2005 album Takk... and was used for the trailer for the original Planet Earth series back in 2006.If you're wondering what Planet Earth is all about, check out this clip to give you a quick taste (it's basically the Jason Bourne of iguanas evading a bunch of snakes like a boss): youtu.be/Rv9hn4IGofM.
Here's what the band had to say about the new recording:
"In Iceland we are blessed with a seemingly inexhaustible supply of wild and untamed places. But even here, in the very furthest flung corners of Europe’s largest wilderness, the scars of human industry are visible, the plans for future encroachments, by dam and smelter, legion. If lost the Icelandic highlands are not recoverable. Around the world the story is the same; the traffic, literally, going in one direction. Sigur Rós are proud to be associated with Planet Earth II and its all-important mission to hold us rapt in understanding of, and respect for, this endlessly fascinating, utterly surprising and ultimately fragile place we are lucky enough to call home for a short while."
Oh, and fun fact... Hoppípolla is Icelandic for "hopping into puddles".
