ALVVAYS - ANTISOCIALITES VINYL (LP)

Regular price £22.99 Sale

Release Date: 8th September 2017

 

The Toronto indie-poppers effortlessly breezed into focus in 2014 with their mighty fine cool AF self-titled debut LP featuring the incredible track 'Archie Marry Me' which was given the indie stamp of approval when Death Cab For Cutie's Benjamin Gibbard covered the song. The follow-up to that is Antisocialites which is somehow even catchier than its predecessor! The record has a heavier use of synths which veers the band more towards the dream-pop catchment and includes a higher quality of lo-fi production (if that makes sense?) but is juxtaposed by its fast pace and it's clever heavy dose of hooks. This is flawless indie-pop which is executed in such a clever way - you're unlikely to find a better guitar pop track than 'Not My Baby' this year which will be sure to give you goosebumps! 

 

"Toronto indie darlings Alvvays released their debut self-titled album in 2014, touring extensively in support of the record through 2015. Now they return with album number two and it's a flawless, charming and the must own Indie Pop album of 2017. On Antisocialites, Alvvays dive back into the deep-end of reckless romance and altered dates. Ice cream truck jangle collides with prismatic noise pop while Molly Rankin's wit is refracted through crystalline surf counterpoint. Through thoughtful consideration in basement and abroad, the Toronto-based group has renewed its Scot-pop vows with a powerful new collection of manic emotional collage. Every track is infectious, full of fuzzy warmth and melodic bliss."
