White Ghost Shivers: Nobody Loves You Like We Do
Self-released
The Austin, Texas-based band White Ghost Shivers is stuck in the past, or at least the musical past of the early 20th century. Although the seven members of the band come from differing musical backgrounds, they all share a fascination (perhaps obsession?) with the hot-jazz and ragtime groups of yesteryear. On Nobody Loves You Like We Do, the band’s third full-length album, they conjure up scenes of smoky, over-crowded speakeasies, hot and sweaty parlor-room antics, and garter-clad flapper girls. WGS hits the nail on the head with tracks like “Nobody Loves You,” which sounds like it could have been taken right out of the Scott Joplin songbook and “Short Haired Girl,” a love-song of sorts that captures the band at full-swingin’-throttle with fiery horns, noodling fiddle and clarinet, and an unrelenting rhythm section.
