Jónsi - Shiver (October 2, 2020) Album • Page 2

from Instagram:

 

Haven't heard the record yet but the Adz/22,AM comparisons make sense off the singles. Really excited to check it later today. AG has the claim to artist of the year imo.

 

Not enjoying this much on first listen. Cannibal is easily the standout to me right now.

 

WILDEYE

 

The end of Wildeye is toooo good

 

Yeah, this isn't hitting me like I expected...

 

Surprised people aren't feeling this. Some of it drags a little, but overall, I think it's pretty awesome.

 

Yeah, agreed

 

This song is cool as hell. Gives me major How to Dress Well’s The Anteroom vibes.

 

Solid track, definitely feels cut from the same cloth as the album

 

I assume it’s from the same sessions, AG worked on this track too

 

definitely the same sessions, this was the Japanese bonus track for the album

 

Wildeye (Danny L Harle Remix)

 

Jonsi created the score for a Tom Clancey movie, definitely not what I expected his next move to be hah

 

I'm a few tracks into this soundtrack and a bit bummed that it feels very... generic action score, for a lack of better term. Granted, I am sure it's exactly what the movie needed, but I was hoping for at least a touch of Jonsi's unique sound. I don't know if I'll end up listening to the whole thing, but overall not all that into it

 

I barely listened to Shiver at all TBH. I hope this one is more replayable.

 

I thought Shiver was fucking cool, really good stuff on it

 

Since it coincides with his art installation, I'm guessing this will be more of an ambient record. He worked on Shiver for like 10 years so I doubt he would have popped out a new album of songs a year later but who knows.

 

I can't remember this album aside from the Liz Fraser collab. I'll go back and listen at some point this weekend.

 

Still surprised this got lukewarm reviews, I said it before but it feels like Jonsi's version of a 22, A Million / Age of Adz type album

 

I vaguely remember feeling like it had a How to Dress Well (Anteroom era) vibe to it. It was good, I think. But I don't remember much else about it like @JM95 says.
