The Shivas – “Manson Girls” [SoundCloud Song Stream]

Portland’s The Shivas have announced the release of their fourth LP, You Know What To Do, out October 28th on Olympia-based label K and on cassette via Burger Records. Having drawn comparisons to bands like Thee Oh Sees and Black Lips, The Shivas blend elements of surf-pop, garage-rock, and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, dousing their hook-filled melodies with a healthy dose of reverb. As a preview of the upcoming release, they’ve shared album track “Manson Girls,” which is available to stream & share above.

The Skinny: Portland’s The Shivas have announced the release of their fourth LP, You Know What To Do, out October 28th on Olympia-based label K and on cassette via Burger Records. Having drawn comparisons to bands like Thee Oh Sees and Black Lips, The Shivas blend elements of surf-pop, garage-rock, and good old fashioned rock ‘n’ roll, dousing their hook-filled melodies with a healthy dose of reverb. As a preview of the upcoming release, they’ve shared album track “Manson Girls,” which is available to stream & share above.

Recorded at K’s own Dub Narcotic Studios and mixed on tape by Calvin Johnson, You Know What To Do is a collection of fuzzy, frenetic jams and hazy slower tunes that feature dreamy male and female harmonies. The Shivas have shared stages with Spiritualized, The Dandy Warhols, The Fresh & Onlys and La Luz, and will kick off a North American tour on October 1st in support of their new release – see below for a full list of dates.
