HERE ARE SOME LINER NOTES TO INTRODUCE THE CD EDITION BY ONE OF THE SAID PEOPLE THAT EMAILLED US TO MAKE A CD - John Au-Yeung:
"For a while it seemed that I was the only person that wanted a Quivers album on CD. So I slid into the band's DMs. Asked for a CD. Joked about having a CD. Threatened for a CD. Maybe it wasn't in that order. Somehow, the band listened and delivered. So what you are holding now is the result of that. May history judge me kindly.
Wanting a Quivers album on CD, a supposed outmoded medium, kind of fits with one of the themes that Quivers trade in: nostalgia. Is it worth longing for something that has gone or has a use by date? These are some deep, deep issues that have been considered since the dawn of time, or whenever someone first made a guitar jangly. But these songs that you are here for do not come from a time past, nor does it have a use by date. It sounds like it could have come from the time your heart first broke, you felt homesick, or when you walked away from that person for the last time. Or maybe it sounds like now, as we are all separated in our little pockets of this world, the light a little dimmer, feeling a little lost. For better or worse we might feel like this again and again.
But like all the music that you love, these songs by Quivers sound like a friend coming around to make you a cuppa, sit with you, and just let the time pass. Time will pass. And letting it pass in such good company isn't that bad, is it?
As I write this I find myself with my cat in Yokohama, half the world away from home. But in this new normal, home, the people dear to us, or even the local, can feel further than they are. It is fine to feel that. And it is fine to long for a time that has past its use by date. Maybe right now it seems better than it was. But that's okay. The good times will come again. Whilst you wait, Quivers will keep you company. Heck, maybe when these bad times passes its use by date, Quivers will even come around and make you that cuppa. I will slide into their DMs to ask about that one.
It’s time to play this CD.

A world of songs we want to live inside. Proper drive your first car music. Or any car. Touring the West Coast of the USA with them in late Sept/early Oct also! Quivers
"I used to love you" is an all time song. "Alexandria" too. We put our heads in the sand sometimes thinking of bands and past years when the best things are now. The river just keeps rivering. Quivers
