QUIVERS - We'll Go Riding On The Hearses LP
Much like their latest release, Golden Doubt, the album is a jangle rock beautify, with tons of melodies and harmonies in the best indie pop tradition.
Quivers is a band formed in Hobart, Tasmania and We’ll Go Riding on the Hearses was first a tape release before the band moved to Melbourne. It’s an album of songs written after singer Sam lost his brother, Tom, unexpectedly in a free-diving accident.
It’s maybe an album about that, but also about trying to not think about that, and often comes back to ghosts, benders, water, and pissing in the snow. The album was recorded halfway up Mount Wellington/kunanyi by Anthony Rochester in just two days to not overthink it all, and celebrates the catharsis that comes from singing with friends.
All my best friends are a little broken, all the best people are. That’s what the first single “Pigeons” says while Hammond circles around some '90s guitars.
