Quivers x Oyster Cuts
Quivers
Jangle damaged pop band from Melbourne, Australia.
More Tom Tom Club than Talking Heads but the direct and simple -yet broadly resonant story outlines of David Byrne regardless.
The song and its components get it through as a nice piece of pop, despite its lack of dynamic. In the first few words, it had me anticipating a MASSIVE lush chorus which never arrived but for the reasons I’ve given, it didn’t matter—enough bleeps and bloops in the mix to hold your attention and nothing pretentious or gaudy.
I absolutely loved the duel vocal but wonder; without various approaches… like harmonies etc, if this approach could sustain the band over future releases. Like Cigarettes After Sex for example, brilliant and unique but… more or less a one-trick pony.
Certainly enough to whet my appetite for future releases.
