'Cannibal' is lifted from the Sigur Rós frontman's forthcoming solo album

Jónsi has shared a brand new track that features guest vocals from Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser.

Titled 'Cannibal', it's the third song to be unveiled from the Sigur Rós frontman's forthcoming solo album, Shiver. The record follows on from Jónsi's 2010 debut solo album, Go, and is co-produced by the Sigur Rós frontman and PC Music's A. G. Cook. Watch a video for 'Cannibal' above.

"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," Jónsi said in a statement about the collaboration with Fraser. "Then I got really into Cocteau Twins like two or three years ago. They're so good. I understood the comparison then."

Krunk will release Shiver on October 2, 2020.
