I’m On Your Side is the latest LP by Sonny Santos’s project The Shivers, and it’s a muted, atmospheric record; most of the album’s nine tracks saunter along, accompanied by minimalist synths, mild electric guitars, and an understated vocal performance. It gives the entirety of the album an introspective quality, spotlighting Santos’ melancholic lyrics and hushed vox, while providing the necessary instrumental backbone to keep things engaging. It’s perfect for listeners seeking something quiet, but never sleepy; stream it below, and catch The Shivers at the Sultan Room on January 9th.
