The Shivas Announce New Album & Share Track "Gun In My Pocket [Revisited]"
The Shivas New Album, Better Off Dead [KLP258], Comes Out February 19th!
Stream/Share "Gun In My Pocket [Revisited]" Now!We’re going to be digesting the 20th century in music for at least as long as it lasted.The Shivas—typically versed in garage and surf and psych, pieces of Nuggets andPebbles, touring regularly with The Dandy Warhols and playing Austin Psych Fest—have laid down Better Off Dead [KLP258] not with the raucous anarchy of the John Cusack movie of the same name, but instead with this lilting grace of static and radio waves from the past century falling all around, studying not the fuzzy chunks that fell off in the wake of the '60s psychedelic crisis. This is something earlier, slower, not a “new direction,” but just a natural branch off the same tree.
Portland quintet The Shivas have transformed their tom-heavy surf-rock single "Gun In My Pocket" into a mesmerizing cut of Roy Orbison jangle-pop.
