#43 Alvvays - Party Police

Toronto's Alvvays release another gem from their self-titled album today, and so to mark the joyous occasion we bring you our single of the week, 'Party Police'.

Swirling beginnings, jangling riffs and a vocal delivery that oozes a knowing innocence - we know what we love about Alvvays, and now they've gone and released a whole album of it. Lyrically bittersweet and built on the simplistic counterpoint melodies shared between Molly Rankin's vocals and the lead guitar, 'Party Police' has a cold sweetness that lead to a dissonant and eerie middle eight. The refrain towards the end of the song drives home the hook, also demonstrating how close their writing comes to dance pop.

Alvvays are an indie-pop band, but seem to tread the line between several genres with a dangerous sweetness - like the creepy kid in a horror film.

 

Due to high demand they've added two more UK dates in September of this year:

10/09/15 - Manchester, Academy 2
11/09/15 - London, O2 Shepherds Bush Empire

NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK, BUT LEAVE A COMMENT ANYWAY

Rekindle all your Avril Lavigne angst with the new double single from King Princess.

Platypus Complex' debut single writhes around your noggin, which is exactly what we'd hoped to hear from these desert-driven psychedelic instrumentalists.

Southend meets Salerno, or is it Portsmouth meets Puglia, who knows? Wherever you are this summer the ride is relentless.
