Alvvays

"Der er masser af godbidder af twee og solskinspop på debutalbummet fra den canadiske indiepopgruppe med det spøjse navn ... Ukompliceret, strandklingende guitarfuzz, hurtige rundgange på trommerne, højt tempo og kække smæk for skillingen på albummets fint passende ni numre. Short'n'sweet".

"Presenting a brighter contrast to the claustrophobic insularity heard on VanGaalen's own recordings and in his work with the much-missed Women, Alvvays eagerly scuffs up the band's gold sounds with dissonant edges-not to deliberately obscure the gleaming melodies or make the band seem tougher than they are, but to enhance the very feeling of raw-nerved unrest seeping through Rankin's lyric sheet. This is the sound of pristine pop music blasted through cheap, blown-out headphones-and every time it seems like a song is about to decay before your ears, you sense both the sadness and liberation of knowing that nothing lasts forever".
