Australian band Quivers release their new album, Oyster Cuts, on August 9, and they’ll be in the US this summer for a few dates around Merge Records’ 35th anniversary fest this month, and then they’ll be back this fall for a proper tour that includes dates opening for Superchunk and a headlining show in NYC at Knitting Factory at Baker Falls on October 5. They’ve recently added more US shows, and all dates are listed below.
Quivers have also just shared a third single from Oyster Cuts, the perfectly strummy, open-hearted “Pink Smoke.” We’ve got the premiere of the music video, which was directed by Nina Renee and stars singer-guitarist Sam Nicholson’s parents, who recently celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. “The song is for the slow kind of love that is found and re-found through really getting to know someone and then making stories together. Writing your adventures down. The pull between looking forward and looking back,” says Sam. “For the film clip, I wanted to capture my parents in their mid-70s still hunting and gathering in the frost of Tasmanian mid-winter mountains. It fell outside the scope of the film clip in the end, so there’s the idea that Nina might make that long version into a short film before too long.” Watch below.
