The new song from the camp of Tidal Rave Shiver reminds me of a vibrant explosion of emotion, a cheerful pop-rock song that describes the feeling of falling in love and what first love is. It vocally has its glowing synthesizers, flying guitar tones and the energy, which project the exciting sensation of being connected with someone and beauty of living in the present moment in full.
Tidal Rave have actually outdone themse The words create a very vivid image of love as something nearly magical, something that entirely engulfs you and makes you breathless. Leaving dreamy verses and powerful choruses, Shiver makes people feel that they are in an emotional trip that resembles the sensation of submitting to the unconditional bliss.
It is even more meaningful by the personal account of the song. As personal and as it is for the artist himself, having a personal experience with a wedding, the song “Shiver” is both very personal and easy to identify with, a song written with love and given to everyone. The songs were fully recorded by themselves and not in a professional studio, and the track is testament to the fact that true need and creativity can shine through than any fancy recording gear.
Looking up to such bands as Pendulum, Don Broco, and Enter Shikari, Shiver is a blend of sincere emotion and exciting music energy. It is not only a song, but a complete experience which can remind you not to think, love without being afraid of anything, and make music touch your heart. This release demonstrates how the experiences in individual lives can give rise to music that resonates with those way beyond what was its genesis.

Can you share any personal experiences that influenced the lyrics?
Shiver is an attempt at describing the intense feelings invoked by a very special person in my life — a person who I made my wife at a festival last August. An acoustic rendition of this song was played by my fellow bandmates as we walked through an arch formed by friends and family after we had just been married.”
How did the production process for Shiver come together?
All of our recorded music is done totally DIY. I book a studio room to record vocals and the rest of the group record their own parts at home, send me the files online and then I edit, mix and master the song.”
Were there any particular musical influences or artists that shaped this track?
The main melodies in the chorus came up in a dream I had but our music in general is usually inspired by Pendulum, Don Broco, Enter Shikari, System of a Down and many more.”
What message do you hope listeners take from Shiver?
We hope that Shiver will be the soundtrack to our listeners’ late nights, new memories, and moments that feel larger than life.”
How does Shiver fit into your overall artistic journey or discography?
We like to bring people to the present moment and living life with more vitality, be it with silly fun, talks about big feelings and exposing truths with our words to help people live life with more vitality.
Did you experiment with any new sounds or techniques on this single?
While we usually write fun and theatrical party tunes (maybe even unhinged at times!), Shiver follows a more sincere tone whilst still maintaining an aspect of pure elation.”
Are there plans for more singles or a larger project following Shiver?
We have an upcoming album under the title ’No Light Without Shadow’, to which we have been trickling singles out gradually with more to come.”

Both work well, but if I were to choose, maybe go for emotional themes.”
