It comes 10 years after his previous solo effort, ''[[Go (Jónsi album)|Go]]''. It was made largely in collaboration with English music producer, singer and head of record label [[PC Music]], [[A. G. Cook]]. The album is 11 tracks long and features a largely electronic musical palette, differing from the music Jónsi has created in the past. It was supported by the singles "Exhale", "Swill" and "Cannibal". It features collaborations with Scottish singer and vocalist of the band [[Cocteau Twins]], [[Elizabeth Fraser]], and Swedish singer [[Robyn]]. The album cover was shot by Barnaby Roper. == Background == On 8 May 2018, [[A. G. Cook]] took part in [[Sigur Rós]]' ''Liminal'' takeover on [[NTS Radio]].

Jónsi wrote in a press release announcing the album:<ref>{{Cite web|title=Shiver, by Jónsi|url=https://jonsi.bandcamp.com/album/shiver|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Jónsi}}</ref> {{Quote|text=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 realized they might be perfect collaborators. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years,” Jónsi says. “I get tired of everything really easily. I always want things to be fun and exciting and fresh, and doing another album...I just wanted to have a different approach.” Jónsi had 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.|author=|title=|source=}} On 1 August, Jónsi began teasing another single release for the album,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jónsi on Instagram: “⚫️⚪️🌀”|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUG3ISB6gr/|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Instagram|language=en}}</ref> followed by another teaser on 8 August.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jónsi on Instagram: “⚪️ Coming soon.... ⚪️”|url=https://www.instagram.com/p/CDmReI3qphK/|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Instagram|language=en}}</ref> On 12 August, Jónsi announced the release of "Cannibal", which features Scottish singer and vocalist of the band [[Cocteau Twins]], [[Elizabeth Fraser]], as the third single from the album It is due for release on 14 August.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Jónsi’s Instagram post: “⚪️ Cannibal (with Elizabeth Fraser) Friday Aug 14th.
