‘Up Up Up’ is to be the debut release from the Deep South’s ebullient purveyors of melody, rhythm and anomalous harmonies, Givers. ‘Up Up Up’, which comes from Givers debut album In Light, will be released on July 18th on Glassnote (Mumford & Sons, Phoenix, Kele, Two Door Cinema Club, The Temper Trap) in the US and Island Records in the UK. Receiving its world premiere on Radio 1 as Zane Lowe’s Next Hype track, ‘Up Up Up’ is an irresistible calling card, bristling with ideas. Further support for ‘Up Up Up’ comes from Radio 2, 6 Music and XFM.
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, the quintet was formed by Taylor Guarisco (singer & guitarist) and Tiffany Lamson (singer, ukulele & percussionist), who met at the University of New Orleans. When Hurricane Katrina hit, it forced the two back to their home of Lafayette where they met Kirby Campbell (drums, programming & vocals), Nick Stevens (keyboards & flute) and Josh LeBlanc (bass guitar) and began to form the basis for Givers
Givers have spent the last few months wowing audiences across America with their kinetic live show; “we really do play every show like it’s one of our last ones,” says Guarisco. After sold-out tours with Dirty Projectors, appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Givers will be hitting the UK for their first shows in early July ahead of a UK Tour & Field Day festival appearance in August.
