They have sold over 2 million albums worldwide since the band was formed in 1994, and the band achieved international recognition with the release of Ágætis byrjun. In 2007, the band released Heima, a film that followed the band as they went back to Iceland and played a series of concerts and discussed global political events such as global warming.
