„Shivers“ is Tommy Countach’s first single in 2024 and after a few weeks of experimentation he’s coming back with a whole new, fun genre mix of synth pop, italo disco and new wave. The warm and hooky vocal parts alternate with the cold and dark breakdowns, reminiscent of late 80s and early 90s Depeche Mode. The same dualism is mirrored in the lyrics, where Tommy sings about being caught between youth and adulthood, trying to navigate through life's challenges and societal expectations. „Shivers“ was produced in Tommy’s studio in Berlin, using mostly hardware synthesizer from the 80s and 90s, such as an ARP Odysseeyfor the squealing lead synth and a Roland JD800 for the industrial and cineastic synth stabs. Combined with a warm Prophet 5 pad during the vocal parts and acoustic + sampeled drums, the song creats a very unique, modern soundscape using mostly retro sound sources. Driven by layered, pulsating beats, an infectious vocal hook and familiar tones in an unexpected context, „Shivers“ takes listeners on a sonic journey through themes of youthful rebellion, existential introspection and the feeling of not fitting into societies conformism.
