Alvvays - Alvvays

'Alvvays' is the self-titled debut album from Canadian fuzz-pop quintet Alvvays.Produced by indie-guru Chad VanGaalen and mixed by Holy Fuck's Graham Walsh and John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Kurt Vile), the albums' dazzling melodies and sun-splashed haze conceal themes of drunkenness, death and defeat.Comprised of Molly Rankin (lead vocals/guitar), Kerri Maclellan (keys/vocals), Alec O'Hanley (guitar), Brian Murphy (bass) and Phil MacIsaac (drums), Alvvays take the template laid out by the likes of Scottish stalwarts Teenage Fanclub, The Vaselines and Belle & Sebastian and fuse it with a strong sense of self and a unique personality.Each shimmering track on their debut full-length frames Rankin's melancholic melodies and unwavering voice with meticulous arrangements and needlepoint guitars.
