Pitchfork.tv: June 27: One Week Only: Screaming Masterpiece [ft. Björk, Sigur Rós, and Múm] / Califone / Sybris
Screaming Masterpiece is filmmaker Ari Alexander Ergis Magnusson's exploration of the Iceland music scene. On a weekend when Björk and Sigur Rós are playing together for a live webcast, this film is especially useful for understanding the past and future of music in Iceland, and how such a small island (just over 300,000 people) has become home to so many interesting musicians.
We also added videos to the archives including this one from Califone, for "Spider's House", one of the finest songs from the very fine Roots & Crowns.
And finally, dig this entertaining video for "Oh Man" from Chicago's Sybris, in which the band teams up to pull off the ultimate heist while a split-screen video captures every tense moment of the caper.
