Louisiana band GIVERS return today with their new single 'Collide', out now via Glassnote Records. Produced by Grammy Award-winners Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson) along with engineer / producer Eric Heigle (Arcade Fire, Lost Bayou Ramblers), the song sees the band channeling Afro-pop polyrhythms and art rock collage into raw, transcendent joy.
GIVERS' Taylor Guarisco & Tiffany Lamson said of the song, "'Collide' is what you get when you have a band from Lafayette, Louisiana who grows up loving the guitarmony world of The Allman Brothers, then relocates to New Orleans to be closer to the back beat of The Neville Brothers. Mix in a few trips to Nashville to work with producer Dave Cobb at RCA studio A plus a healthy dose of getting weird with producer Eric Heigle back in New Orleans--you'll then begin to arrive at the full scope of 'Collide'."GIVERS will kick off an extensive US tour this Friday with a hometown performance at New Orleans Jazz Festival, followed by a run of East Coast tour dates. A full list of dates can be found here.
Since breakout 2011 release In Light, GIVERS have embraced a vision of life and love that, in the band's early years, bubbled with the optimism of unchallenged youth. Formed in 2008 in the sweaty dancehalls of Lafayette, Louisiana, GIVERS knew right away that they had something special. Crafted from the improvisational and dance-fuelled atmosphere of the area's zydeco, Cajun, and jazz cultures mixed with an affection for new wave, funk, and world music, the infectious results brought a quick rise to the spotlight for the young band.Videos
