As a solo artist, Jónsi expands on the emotional intensity and sense of wonder he pioneered with Icelandic post-rock luminaries Sigur Rós. On his 2010 debut, Go, he introduced his adventurous perspective on pop, while his music for films ranging from 2010's How to Train Your Dragon to 2018's Boy Erased built on his well-established flair for atmosphere. Comfortable collaborating with artists as diverse as Troye Sivan and Swedish composer Carl Michael von Hausswolff, Jónsi cleverly juxtaposed these artistic extremes on 2020's Shiver.
