Six of the acoustic versions featured in the film are collected on the confusingly titled “Heim,” the second disc of new album “Hvarf-Heim.” Without the opaque production of their previous albums, the arrangements on “Heim” use abundant strings and horns to fill the gaps. “Heysátan,” with its delicate brass...
