Join us for one of the last shows of our Barbes residency.

"....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 mix. 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

"Decayed samplers, walkmans, vibraphonettes, footpedal loopers, tape echoes and violins... they're all involved in the Quavers' hodgepodge music. They call it "porch techno". We call it love." - L Magazine

"The Quavers might be better known as T. Griffin Coraline, the duo of T. Griffin and Catherine McRae. The duo has added two new players for this new project, but the shadowy songs on the Quavers new Lit By Your Phone work a similar magic, painting the edges of low-wattage country-folk with electronics.You'd have to go a long way to find an intro as arresting as the one that starts "snow day": "Darling promise me you'll kill me in my sleep / if I'm still waiting tables here / this time next year" " - Time Out New York

" 'Darling promise me you'll kill me in my sleep if I'm still waiting tables here this time next year,' sing the Quavers on "Snow Day." My first emotion after listening to Brooklyn's the Quavers was one of pure wall-punching anger and frustration. Where the holy hell has this band been all my life? How is it that I get bombarded by press releases all day for new albums by horrible bands (there is a new Korn album out now, just in case you were curious), but I've never heard a peep about the Quavers? All anger aside, the band utilizes sly electronics, softly strummed guitars, and soft vocals, making the duo (T. Griffin and Catherine McRae) a perfect fit for the cozy Mississippi Studio confines." - Portland Mercury
