about

'Shiver' is the acclaimed debut album by Swedish pop artist Virna Lindt, originally released by The Compact Organisation in 1983.

Written, produced and directed by Virna Lindt and Tot Taylor, 'Shiver' offers 10 slices of chic orchestrated pop informed by 'foreign film' soundtracks, movie composers John Barry and Ennio Morricone, Modernist musique concrete and Cold War spy thrillers.

The album spawned three singles: Attention Stockholm, Intelligence and I Experienced Love. For the most part Lindt provides the voiceover for her own narratives, occasionally striking reflective poses amid orchestral swells and multi-layered atmospherics; a clear influence on later acts such as Pulp, St Etienne, The Cardigans and Air.

This edition of 'Shiver' showcases acoustically-enhanced mixes prepared by Taylor and Lindt in 1997, augmented with non-album singles Model Agent and Young & Hip. The extended tracklist also finds room for a leftfield cover of Windmills of Your Mind, originally written by Michel Legrand for The Thomas Crown Affair and recorded for the Crepuscule compilation album 'Moving Soundtracks'.

TWI 195

"An elegant homage to classic soundtrack styles, Virna Lindt's knowing 1984 debut album is a stylish set best appreciated for its atmosphere, voice and melodies. With bonuses including singles and later remixes, this reissue is the last word on an album integral to the era when mix-and-match rummaging through the past to create a meta-pop for the now began in earnest" (Mojo, 2018)

"Dazzling, delicious Cold War pop. Tres chic" (Electronic Sound, 2017)
