On the second day, they ripped through Blue Rev front-to-back twice, pausing only 15 seconds between songs and only 30 minutes between full album takes. And then, as Everett has done on recent albums by The War on Drugs and Kacey Musgraves, he spent an obsessive amount of time alongside Alvvays filling in the cracks, roughing up the surfaces, and mixing the results. This hybridized approach allowed the band to harness each song's absolute core, then grace it with texture and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Cassette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43377879908573,"sku":"210000251132","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/products\/oawrka7diuczne6rwwty.jpg?v=1731286453"},{"product_id":"alvvays-alvvays-1","title":"Alvvays- Alvvays (Vinyl)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe debut album from Alvvays features standout tracks \"Archie, Marry Me\" and \"Adult Diversion.\" Now on orange vinyl with printed cardstock and innersleeve with lyrics.

For the world's biggest pop stars that's an average achievement, but for an upstart indie rock band then writing in a backroad farmhouse on a Canadian island, it represented a staggering proof of connection and widespread resonance. Makes sense, after all: \"Archie, Marry Me\" is a softly stinging, pointedly funny portrait of a common end-of-youth predicament-to wed or not to wed, to involve the state and the possibility of financial ruin when you're already saddled with student loans and just trying to survive. Instantly relatable, it is an anthem about prescribed social expectations and delighting, however noncommittally, in outcast status. \r\n\r\nNow remastered and reissued with deep cut \"Underneath Us\" to mark a glorious decade of deadpan jangle, Alvvays feels that way from end to end-literally, from the opening stalking-you-with-love anthem \"Adult Diversion\" to the ennui escapism of sci-fi closer \"Red Planet.\" In a little more than 30 minutes, Alvvays give us a song about loving someone to actual death (\"Next of Kin\"), how keeping secrets will destroy what you think you want (\"The Agency Group\"), and another incisive song about the societal demands of love and marriage (\"Atop a Cake\"). When Molly Rankin, Alec O'Hanley, Kerri MacLellan, and Brian Murphy cut these songs with Chad VanGaalen in 2013, long before they had a record deal, they were, in fact, young adults trying to figure out these encroaching exigencies for themselves. Again, these problems don't age; some of us just happen to be lucky enough to age out of them.\r\n\r\nLittle of this would matter if the songs themselves didn't stick, if the melodies weren't as timeless as the topics. But the tension between Alvvays' shimmer and snap and Rankin's knowingly droll delivery connects these numbers to a brilliant and deep rock continuum, from the glories of C86 and the triumphs of Athens in the '80s to Celtic folk's own magnetic candour. Each of these songs lands several hooks apiece: the sparkling drum-machine drift of \"Dives,\" the noise-caked sway of \"The Agency Group,\" and, of course, the half-diffident and half-confident matrimonial plea of \"Archie, Marry Me\" and that pearly guitar lick. Ten years ago or ten years from now, here are ten songs to slip in your pocket and pull out when the decisions of the world seem to swirl like the very guitars that shape them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTrack List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdult Diversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Archie Marry Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ones Who Love You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Next of Kin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Party Police\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Agency Group\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Atop a Cake\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Red Planet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Underneath Us\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eShop online 24\/7 at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45662615306461,"sku":"644110049810","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4362684-3224453.jpg?v=1727152765"},{"product_id":"alvvays-alvvays-2","title":"Alvvays- Alvvays (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlvvays are two women, three men, a crate of C-86 tapes and a love of jingle-jangle.
