Not too long ago Jónsi was traveling through London, where he met up with iconoclastic producer A.G. Cook, who he admired for his boundary-breaking work with the PC music collective. He had no expectation for the meeting, but the more they talked, the more he realised they might be perfect collaborators. On paper, their collaboration is surprising, but 'Shiver' is a beautiful record that pushes Jónsi's otherworldly voice into startling new territories.

whilst jónsi has made a career on sweeping music that plumbed the depths of the human experience and our connection to the natural world, cook’s production exists at the opposite end of the spectrum: synthetic, sometimes abrasive, and often on the cutting edge of experimentalism. on paper, their collaboration is surprising, but ‘shiver’ is a beautiful record that pushes jónsi’s otherworldly voice into startling new territories. the record also features tracks with cocteau twins’ liz fraser and robyn! “a crucial revitalization of one of the planet’s most gifted musicians” 10/10 – rif
