Quivers
Combining jangly guitars, wistful melodies, and interweaving vocal lines from four distinctive singers, Australian quartet Quivers built their sound on cues taken from both obscure and well-known greats of indie rock. The band used straightforward guitar-pop song structures as their foundation to explore expanded instrumentation, with lyrical themes of loss, loneliness, and painful growth coming to the forefront of their 2021 album Golden Doubt.
Quivers was formed in Hobart, Tasmania by songwriter/guitarist/vocalist Sam J. Nicholson, and along with the first iteration of the band, recorded their debut album, We'll Go Riding on the Hearses, in 2015. Over the next few years, the lineup solidified with guitarist/vocalist Michael Panton (who had played on the debut), bassist/vocalist Bella Quinlan, and drummer/vocalist Holly Thomas. Now based in Melbourne, Quivers released several singles and toured internationally, making waves with their 2019 song "You're Not Always on My Mind." In 2020, the band covered R.E.M.'s Out of Time front to back, releasing their own version in limited vinyl editions. The influence of R.E.M., the Go Betweens, the Clean, the Smiths, and other college rock staples became more of a foundation for the band's sound, and they mixed jangly, melancholic guitar pop with Nicholson's world-weary songwriting perspectives on their second album proper, 2021's Golden Doubt.
