  • Bio

    **THE QUAVERS' RECORD, "LIT BY YOUR PHONE," IS NOW AVAILABLE** -------------- Here's what some people are saying about Lit By Your Phone:......................... "....Lit by Your Phone, the Quavers’ new moody and texturally rich album, places moody Americana folk under blacklit, lo-fi electronica." - The Village Voice ................................................“...moody and enchanting lo-fi songs. The pair‘s spare tunes combine plaintive minor-key melodies... and tight, yearing harmonies with touches of electronica thrown into the m ix. Both musicians bring a deep and eclectic musical background to their songwriting; between the two of them they’ve worked with indie filmmaker Jem Cohen, avant-garde theater director Richard Maxwell and the cult singer-songwriter Vic Chesnutt, among others. ” - The New Yorker
