Alvvays - Alvvays (10th Anniversary reissue)
Alvvays - Alvvays (10th Anniversary reissue)
Orange vinyl pressing. Indie rock and sugary pop music collide in the sound of the Canadian band Alvvays and their self-titled debut album. Pronounced, "always" the twin v's are for artistic effect. Molly Rankin is the voice of the band, and she grew up with keyboardist Kerri MacLellan, who was her next door neighbor. Teen friend Alec Hanley on guitar rounds out the foundation of the band that also includes Brian Murphy and Eric Hamelin. Heavily influenced by the wistful Teenage Fanclub and Belle & Sebastian, Alvvays delivers with this 9-song musical snack.
Originally released 7/22/14 on Polyvinyl Records. Available here on CD, cassette, and as a 10th anniversary Cerulean in Cloudy Clear vinyl pressing with the bonus track “Underneath Us.” 10th anniversary edition released 11/15/24.
