Kicking off August 1st, the Big Chill Festival at Eastnor Castle Park in Herefordshire, UK is just about the coolest — sorry for punning — festival I’ve heard about this summer. For one, that Icelandic art band Sigur Ros is having their film ‘Heima’ screened as part of BFI’s multi-media programme, which will run throughout the festival until August 3rd. I’ve been trying to see this film for months now. From what I’ve heard, it’s the visual equivalent of their gorgeously unearthly soundscapes.

On the film programme, Gypsy Caravan will also be screenings (stayed tuned here for a longer post and interview with the direction coming up!)

Also up, Orchestra Baobob, Thievery Corporation, Blk Jks, Lykke Li, Little Dragon, Natty, DJ Krush, Flying Lotus, and Leonard Cohen.

Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry & Adrian Sherwood are also on deck — visually and musically, respectively — as part of the ICA’s festival series. Sherwood’s spinning the dub soundtrack “On U” and Perry paints the visuals, literally, live.
