Backing up the release of her Greatest Hits album and DVD, this new single from Iceland's second-biggest export (after fish) is something of a damp squib when compared to her breathtakingly innovative back-catalogue.
It's available with various remixes, including one from Vespertine collaborators Matmos, plus live versions of So Broken, recorded for Later with Jools Holland, and All Is Full of Love, from her recent show at Cirque Royal, Brussels - featuring an Innuit choir and orchestra. Both of these will appear on the forthcoming Vespertine Live album. And Cocoon - Retangled by Ensemble (a remix of her last single) is an interesting exercise in sonic experimentation, but little more.
It's expected that greatest hits collections are backed up by singles, and this does the job, but it's more interesting as a taster for the live album, especially for those unlucky enough not to have seen any of her spectacular recent concerts.
