QUIVERS
Quivers, of Melbourne, Australia, are finally bringing their cathartic lyric-driven jangle pop to Europe and the UK for the first time in December 2024 to celebrate their third release, Oyster Cuts, out in August via Merge Records. The road to this moment has been a winding one, the best kind, with a performance for KEXP, US and Australian tours, and even R.E.M. sliding into the band’s DMs with fire emojis after their full cover of Out of Time. For musical reference points this new album is propelled by melodies that recall Galaxie 500 and The Pretenders. It’s sunshine pop with blood in the water, with tape loops that circle like sharks, and twin guitars that glisten while the bass and drums roll in like waves. Pitchfork described Quivers' last record as “the sound of bedsit 1980s college-rock thrust into the big-tent environs of 21st-century indie, like a Go-Betweens with Coachella-conquering ambitions....and it’s absolutely glorious”, but Quivers only believe in a ragged glory, that live music should sometimes fall apart and be a genuine interaction with each audience. So they will continue to confront love and grief and the glow of friendship from all angles, and hope to meet you on the next winding road ahead.
