Sigur Rós’ Jónsi has shared another new song from his forthcoming album Shiver. “Cannibal” features guest vocals from Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser. Watch the video, directed by Giovanni Ribisi, below.
“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,” Jonsi said in a statement about the song. “Then I got really into Cocteau Twins like two or three years ago. They’re so good. I understood the comparison then.”
Shiver is the studio successor to Jónsi’s 2010 solo debut Go. Jónsi co-produced Shiver with A.G. Cook, and it features the previously released singles “Exhale” and “Swill.” It’s out October 2 via Krunk.
In May, Jonsí released the ocean-inspired album Dark Morph II with Swedish artist Carl Michael von Hausswolff, which he followed with a line of CBD tinctures in June.
