Quivers have been making jangle-damaged lyric-driven guitar pop long enough now for REM to slide into their DMs. Dream US label Merge signed the band for their 3rd release, Oyster Cuts, and Quivers toured with indie stalwarts Superchunk and by themselves all over Australia, Europe and North America in 2024, stopping in Seattle to film a 2nd KEXP studio performance. A hiatus followed as Sam took a break to become a dad and write songs for the upcoming next album while pushing a pram and pointing at birds and planes.
This next chapter features a louder trio sound with new collaborators Shauna Boyle (Cable Ties, drums/singing) and Thomas Skalicky (Little Island, bass/singing). It starts with rolling announcements of more national and international touring and a new 7” single out November 4 on Merge November 4 featuring “Bottle The Nervous” and a cover of The Vulgar Boatmen’s 1989 roadtrip-obsessed gem “Drive Somewhere”.
