Jónsi Birgisson, frontman of Sigur Rós, has released “Cannibal” from his upcoming LP featuring Elizabeth Fraser of the Cocteau Twins. Following singles “Swill” and “Exhale”, “Cannibal” is the third single released ahead of Jónsi’s second solo album Shiver out Oct 2nd 2020 via Krunk, co-produced by PC Music founder A. G. Cook and Jónsi himself.

The “Cannibal” video was created by Jónsi (who is also a visual artist) and Giovanni Ribisi, who previously directed “Exhale”. Like that video, “Cannibal” also places focus on a single dancer. Vocals feature the Cocteau Twins’ Elizabeth Fraser.

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.”
