Alvvays

Few contemporary bands have nailed the classic indie-pop sound with as much effortless charm as Alvvays, as Canadian quintet whose members clearly spent their formative years absorbing records from the likes of Pastels, Teenage Fanclub and Belle and Sebastian. The band's most recent release, Antisocialites, is packed with infectious melodies and hopelessly twee lyricism that's sure to be scrawled in the margins of high school textbooks around the world.
