Jónsi has uploaded a snippet of new Robyn collaboration and Shiver album track "Salt Licorice" before it arrives on Wednesday (30 September).

"Salt Licorice" will be the fourth single to be shared from Jónsi's first solo album in a decade, after earlier singles "Cannibal" featuring Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser, "Swill" and "Exhale".

The new track will mark the first collaboration between Robyn and Jónsi. The Icelandic musician wrote alongside the announcement, "we had so much fun making this in Reykjavík many [moon]'s ago."
