Jónsi Shares ‘Salt Licorice’ Single Featuring Robyn

Jónsi shared the single, “Salt Licorice,” featuring Robyn. The song will land on the Sigur Rós singer and guitarist’s upcoming solo album, Shiver, which arrives on Friday, October 2 via Krunk.

“Salt Licorice” features production by A.G. Cook as does the whole album. The track is “an aggressive take on ballroom house with a thumping, propulsive beat and loud, piercing chimes, pulled together in a tumult of sounds,” as per a statement. “Jónsi and Robyn commiserate in the coldness of aging, nostalgia, and depression, sorrows that are made easier when shared with a kindred soul.”

“‘Salt Licorice’ is such a cute and perfect pop song,” Robyn said. “It makes me want to dance violently and make out at the same time. It was a no-brainer to say yes to singing it with Jónsi. The pretty emails I get with a thousand emojis in them from him is a bonus that came with our collaboration as well!”

“Salt Licorice” arrived with a music video co-directed by Jónsi and Rene van Pannevis. Watch it below:
