Today, Julia Jacklin reveals an extraordinary cover of Rowland S. Howard’s “Shivers,” putting her inspired spin on the track originally recorded by Howard and Nick Cave’s band The Boys Next Door. Julia's glassy vocals drive the song, paying tribute to the raw emotion of the original while also giving it a new breath of life with her distinctive sound.

The cover came about when Julia was asked to contribute to a compilation honoring legendary Australian producer Tony Cohen, who recorded the original and numerous albums by The Birthday Party, The Go-Betweens, Hunters & Collectors, and Nick Cave. The compilation includes other Australian acts including RVG, Leah Senior and Grace Cummings, and accompanies a book about Cohen’s life called Half Deaf, Completely Mad, written by John Olson. Julia says of the release:

“It’s been covered a lot, but it’s a special one for me. It was one of the first songs I ever learnt to play. Many Sydney bars, venues and open mic nights have heard me sing this song. Howard wrote it at 16 and I’ve always loved how much the lyrics capture that type of unbridled, dramatic teenage infatuation. The kind that physically hurts but also makes you laugh at yourself.”

The track follows a string of European festival appearances ahead of her return to North America on a summer headline run - all dates below.
