It’s perfect timing when a pre-ordered album arrives on the day of its release<\/a>. It’s even better when you discover that the full album exceeds the high expectations raised by the previously released singles. Truly, Golden Doubt<\/em> by Melbourne jangle masters Quivers is quite the achievement. Musically, this is beautiful indie pop, with great harmonies and group vocals. All of the best qualities of Quivers are on full display in Gutters Of Love<\/em>, and that is only the first song on the record. It’s the kind of song that starts slowly and keeps building up tension ultimately ending in cathartic release. It’s the ultimate show closer that will leave\u00a0 audiences elated and with goosebumps.<\/p>\n

To fully appreciate Golden Doubt<\/em>, note that the band describes it as “life-damaged but hopeful jangle pop”. It is a record born out of grief – two band members lost their brothers. But the record is also an appreciation of how friends, music and the occasional laugh can help us get through even the darkest times.\u00a0 Quivers will break your heart with their songs but also mend it, putting the pieces back together one at a time. For example, listen to songs like Nostalgia Will Kill You<\/em> (“It’s a poisonous dart \/ It will slow you down \/ If it reaches your heart”<\/em>) and You’re Not Always On My Mind<\/em> (“Just mostly all the time \/ And I miss you”).<\/em> Golden Doubt<\/em> is a gorgeous record that is given me the feels. Get it now at Ba Da Bing (US), Bobo Integral (Europe) & Spunk Records (Australia).<\/p>\n
