An exact release date has yet to be set in stone, but Alvvays will be
out sometime in early 2014. According to a press release, “The songs are
loud and clear and sure Scot-pop sublimated through Magnetic Fields and
1979.” Other sonic touchstones include Teenage Fanclub, the Jesus &
Mary Chain, Dolly Mixture, and Belle & Sebastian.
The folks who make up Toronto’s Alvvays
have been involved in the music industry for some time, as the
five-piece lineup includes Rankin Family offspring Molly Rankin, former
Two Hours Traffic member Alec O’Hanley and Danks drummer Phil MacIsaac,
plus Kerri Maclellan and Brian Murphy. In the coming months, the
musicians will continue to make headway with their latest project as
they hit the road in advance of their upcoming self-titled debut album.
The impending record was produced by Canadian studio whiz Chad
VanGaalen at his Yoko Eno studio in Calgary. It was mixed by Holy Fuck
member Graham Walsh and indie super-producer John Agnello (Sonic Youth,
Dinosaur Jr., Kurt Vile). It will come out via Hollerado’s label, Royal
Mountain Records.
