Antisocialites
by Alvvays

Fits into the naval gazing girlie genre nicely, along with Phoebe Bridges and Lana Del Rey and such, but with more traditional backing and engineering. Short and sweet, very drinkable.

Not quite as inspired as their debut, but a nice record. I think that the final track is pretty underrated on this site.

Decente álbum de indie pop, pero poco impresionante. "Dreams Tonite" y "Plimsoll Punks" lo más destacado del álbum.

A harmless melodic record that is enjoyable to listen to. The short nature of this album makes it feel very rewarding when you finish it as it doesn't overstay its welcome so the music feels complete. It is consistent musically as well with them maintaining the style throughout the whole record and keeping that feel good atmosphere for the complete run time. The vocals fit these stylings perfectly as well with it being so smooth and melodic which makes every song catchy as you can't get the voice out of your head. She is backed reasonably well on instrumentation, but it does feel a bit empty at times and on the weaker songs I can get bored of its repetitive nature. Overall, a good record that you can put on, have a good time and not have to think too deeply about it making it very enjoyable for the listener.

dreamy vocals and instrumentation, along with compelling songwriting and a few hits make this a very good album

Up from a 60.

I just wasn't in the space for this one when I first heard. Nowadays, I revisit the highlights of this quite often.

Muy agradable el indie pop de Alvvays. Tienen momentos melódicos estelares, y otros con un tanto de relleno. Me parece un disco correcto y disfrutable. Mis favoritas: Dreams Tonite, In Undertow, Not My Baby.

Clever, melancholic, and at times vulnerable lyrics. Music is varied and catchy as hell. Magnific performances by every member of the band all along the record. Classic sounding but with a contemporary twist in production. I don't have enough compliments to this, it's definitely one of my favorite albums of the recently past decade lol.
PS.: As I often describe them to my friends : they're "the best Scottish band in Canada".

Alvvays are very, very good at what they do, and this all sounds consistently lovely and catchy enough to hold your attention throughout. Unfortuantely, this keeps proving that even at their best they're only going to be just Good Enough.
