A debut single means everything. It’ll make your career or can stop you dead-cold in your tracks. London synth duo SHiiVERS rise to the occasion with the ferociously metallic “Animalism,” which glistens in the sunlight with Nintendo blips and bloops. “I really hope this is a face,” lead singer Clara begs of the overwhelming frigid temperatures provoked by online social life. She shivers, pun intended, all the way down to her bones, clattering and banging in the joints. But there’s also a remarkable trace of warmth to their observations. Alongside Tom, the pair sink their fangs into examining toxicity in relationships, while also spotlighting our innately unhealthy way of judging books by their manufactured, Instagram-approved covers. “Is this a phase?!” considers Clara, whose voice operates as both a penetrating knife blade and a plush caress. “Nothing but an animal…”

“Animalism” is just the beginning of their journey. Expect even more purposeful pop this year.
