Alvvays appreciation thread
The singer has a gorgeous voice, and their whole sound is very dreamy and lovely. but not too dreamy to the point where it's just high pitched synth noises for 20 minutes. there's drums and bass and 2x guitars as well. plus a song structure. and cool lyrics.

I've really liked that song for a while, as well as "Party Police" and need to check out some more of their stuff

It's really really incredible to like a band where I actually like the lead singer....cause my two other top bands right now are the Pumpkins and RHCP. Dickheads on vocals, both
yeah it's like she tries to be as frumpy as possible |

i like it. but something about their sound bugs me.
i think it may be the drummer. he kinda makes it all boring, it never develops, just four on the floor. bands like this usually benefit a lot from good production values and a lot of subtle additions, but i don't really hear it with this band. the best thing about the band is the vocalist's voice |

I totally agree about the drumming.
On the album the drums sound very lame, very compressed. There's no excitement in the sound And then live, this guy plays in the most limpdicked, dry way possible. 'playing to the song' is the trendy thing now but I think it sounds boring as fuck. it's like everyone's trying to emulate a drum machine ______ This is the best drumming to an Alvvays song I've heard. Dunno who this guy is, this is when the singer was doing this as a solo act. The drums sound much more lively and exciting: Last edited by Ram27 : 03-23-2016 at 01:14 AM. |

Ive been a fan since the record release. It was my fav record of 2014 no less. I know i posted a bunch of their videos here in those days and early last year.
I never got any reaction aside from getting sonic johnny into them. Glad to see people have come around to them. I'm impatiently waiting their next record (which will probably disappoint like all sophomore) Party Police is my favorite song probably but really aside from like dives and the agency group i love them all nearly as much.. Just last week i was listening to that record a bunch again (after a long break( I may also have a crush on Molly Rankin. And by may i mean totally. I saw on their twitter they're gonna have some shows with Chvrches. ****** mayberry and her on the same evening? I couldn't handle it. |

also have a crush on molly
this is their newest song, which is lovely: (i'd also like to complain about the drums more: listen to the fucking lame ass shit he plays. even the exciting bit at 2:11, he just dicks around on a closed hihat rather than play anything which would evoke any sort of excitement. he's like the opposite of mike burns) but yeah their new song is great |

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Poots again.
spot on. When I'm in the mood for chill stuff they're a great listen but sometimes I just want my face kicked in with sound. I must've said this like 20 times on here but what's so great about SP is that they do both excellently and fluidly......I don't get why you'd want to be so one-dimensional as a band. guess it sells records |

There's no tension in the music. All good music has some kind of tension, even the softest and most simple

I like it much better than bands called a generic word. Nothing or Always or Live or whatever makes it irritating to google for them

she's annoying & her voice is horrible, its like listening to twee hermenonie granger 'rock' from someone with three degrees that should yknow persue them and leave music to the poor
and all the lyrics are about a nebulous "you" which i think is of the worst lyrical choices |
