Caracol - Shiver

There seems to be a pattern in French artists who perform songs in English...it's good!  Like Cats In Trees, Caracol (a.k.a Quebec's Carole Facal) has it down pat with "Shiver," which was free on Itunes some time ago, and that I only fully began to appreciate when it came on during the shuffled library play (a pattern for myself to follow, it would seem).  "Shiver" is boho-indie-folk-pop, and though that may sound complicated, never fear!  It's got that 70's charm to it, with that tambourine and folky elements, but it's also modern enough to fit right in with the indie of 2014.  Carole Facal kind of channels Alanis Morissette in "Knees of My Bees" and a little bit of Stevie Nicks, if you must ask, but it's her sweet vocals and whenever she says shiver that sends, well, a shiver up my spine.  And after a long and busy week with nothing but rain and snow, that shiver is welcome.
