The Shivers - More
Silence Breaks, 2011
Mixer
“The Shivers are at their strongest when at their slowest, and it’s with the Let it Be-esque organ of “Kisses” that More really announces itself. Zarriello gets his best chance to show off the gravel in his voice on that track, and he seems to revel in that whiskey-drinking/cigarette-smoking blues style. “Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars” and “So Long Woman”, acoustic arpeggio-based ballads, follow suit, while “Love Is in the Air” and the title track, a little on the upbeat side, keep the lamentations alive thanks to their generally melancholic chord structures.”
- Consequence of Sound
“On More, Keith Zarriello and Jo Schornikow have honed the Shivers sound into a sinewy muscle of outsider indie R&B (perhaps the first of the genre?).”
