14 August 2020, 10:26 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Jónsi has teamed up with Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser for new single "Cannibal", which will feature on his forthcoming solo LP Shiver.

"Cannibal" is the third track to be shared from Jónsi's first solo album in 10 years, after previous singles "Swill" and "Exhale".

Speaking about Cocteau Twins, Jónsi says, "When Sigur Rós was starting, we were always compared to Cocteau Twins and I really didn’t like that. I hated being compared to anybody. Then I got really into Cocteau Twins like two or three years ago. They’re so good. I understood the comparison then."

Shiver will be Jónsi's first solo album since 2010's Go, and is co-produced by Jónsi and PC Music founder A. G. Cook. The LP was recorded between Berlin, Reykjavik, London and Helsinki.

The album will also feature a collaboration with Robyn.

"Canibal" featuring Elizabeth Fraser is out now. Jónsi's Shiver album will be released 2 October via Krunk, and is available to pre-order now.
