The Quavers coax a luminous sound out of decayed samplers, walkmans, vibraphonette, footpedal loopers, tape echo violin and homespun harmonies. Like a space-age Carter Family, they weave low-tech electronics around songs sturdy enough to stand up even if the power goes out. They call it "porch techno".
News
Vic Chesnutt 1964 - 2009. He was a friend, collaborator and a constant inspiration. We will miss him deeply.
This Fall, our collaboration with Academy-Award Nominated filmmaker Sam Green, UTOPIA IN FOUR MOVEMENTS plays three nights at the Kitchen in NYC, October 7th, 8th and 9th. We'll be joined by in inimitable Brendan Canty on drums. This live soundtrack show is also coming to Philly, Ithaca, Cleveland and Houston this fall.
Other news: YES we're still working on a new record! Recorded a bunch up in Montreal this summer, hoping to finish it up this fall. As alway, it's not a good idea to hold your breath on that, though.
