‘Up Up Up’ is to be the debut release from the Deep South’s Givers. ‘Up Up Up’, which comes from Givers debut album ‘In Light’, will be released on July 18th on Glassnote 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 a calling card, bristling with ideas.
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 playing gigs across America. 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.
