You like Alvvays?

Post by BroSlinger »

I can see how people could hate it, but I find it irresistible. Good old fashioned dream pop, but not as weird as Cocteau Twins, and not as inconsistent/patchy as Belly. Melodic and lush. Some Blatant Robin Guthrie influence(even though I said they're not like Cocteau Twins). Lots of nods to the Smiths too.
