Here's the details on all their releases. This new song is for the Nov. 5 release. (The information below is from Wikipedia, fyi)


On 20 August 2007 a limited DVD+CD edition of the 2002 soundtrack to the documentary Hlemmur was released.

On 5 November they will release Heima, a live DVD of last summer’s Iceland tour, as well as Hvarf-Heim, a double compilation album containing studio versions of previously unreleased songs ("Salka", "Hljómalind" (formerly known as "Rokklagið"), "Í gær" and "Von"), on Hvarf, and acoustic studio versions of the songs: "Samskeyti", "Starálfur", "Vaka", "Ágætis Byrjun", "Heysátan"and "Von", on Heim.

A tentative date for a DVD+CD release of the 2002 orchestral piece Odin's Raven Magic is set for January 2008.

I think I'm going to hold out to hear the song until the CD(s) are released. Looking forward to both the CDs and the DVD. Hearing those songs done acoustically will be quite interesting.

I'm looking forward to both as well, although I wish the DVD were of their previous show in Iceland (the one that's been streaming on their website forever, which is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen and heard) rather than the tour from last summer.
