Dreaming and Scheming with Quivers | Hotline
Manage episode 481696844 series 3348785
On their new album Oyster Cuts, Australian indie rockers Quivers blend jangle rock, synth-dappled new wave, and catchy indie-pop. Echoing the strum and chime of classic alt-acts like The Go-Betweens and R.E.M (they devoted their entire 2020 album to cover songs from the latter), Sam Nicholson (guitars), Bella Quinlan (bass), Michael Panton (guitars), and Holly Thomas (drums) create sounds that feels acutely human in this age of artifice. Nothing here is fussed over or smothered by production. Whether singing about situationships or transcendence, Quivers keep it rooted in the unvarnished truth. “Is to be in love just to be more lost?” Quinlan sings on “More Lost,” but getting lost in Oyster Cuts is a perfectly sublime experience.
On this episode of Hotline, they answer calls from the 1-877-WASTOIDS answering machine, reflecting on Mad Max, Australia’s Bruce Springsteen, Jimmy Barnes, tape loops, and the challenges and highs of being an independent artist.
