Invisible Shivers burst on the Seattle scene as a boisterous live band, sharing the stage with indie acts such as Kishi Bashi and La Luz. Back then, songwriter Ian Shuler sang lead from behind the drum kit. Now he writes songs for the front of the stage. The band has included members of beloved PNW bands like Smokey Brights, Cumulus, Ravenna Woods, and Fine Prince. Following the “wide-eyed romantic playfulness” of 2016’s self-titled EP, Invisible Shivers released the psychoactive LP What Makes You Feel Alive in 2019. In 2023, Invisible Shivers will release their love letter to a life abroad: Spanish Ways to Say Goodbye. “The music was conceived in Madrid, but born back in Seattle,” says Shuler. William Cremin brought the album to life with pop-forward production, along with help from vocalists Gnossienne and Helen Chance, bassist Luke Rägnar, drummer Matt Badger of Hannah Ramone, violinist Faith Eskola of Whispered the Rabbit, and guitarist Kennith Darling of Local Liars. The new album comes out on November 10.
