ALVVAYS
Alvvays are two women, three men, a crate of C-86 tapes and a love of jingle-jangle. Molly Rankin and Kerri MacLellan grew up as next-door neighbours in Cape Breton, lifting fiddles and folk-songs. Heartbreaks of different shades soon entered their lives, as did the music of Teenage Fanclub and Belle & Sebastian. As a result, their debut self-titled album is both sun-splashed and twilit—nine songs concealing drunkenness, defeat and death in tungsten-tinted pop that glitters like sea glass. On July 22, the record will be released in the USA on Polyvinyl Record and Royal Mountain Records in Canada.
"It's not just the singer’s striking, peroxide-blond locks that make Alvvays stick out from the infinite number of contemporary indie acts f orging a similar union between early-’60s AM-radio pop and late-’80s freak-scene discord. On the band’s winsome Chad VanGaalen-produced debut, it’s the disarmingly frank, aching lyricism that ultimately raises them above the cardiganed fray, capturing both the humour and heartache of seeking intimacy in the big city." --Pitchfork
