Alvvays: Antisocialites - Review

This is a review for my month long Album-a-Day adventure in Jan. 2022. if you want to read the other reviews, check out the original post.

Review number 2 today: the second album from Canadian band Alvvays, Antisocialites.

This was a suuuuuper cool album that combined a really cool voice, indie pop and the guitar tone of lighthearded shoegaze. As you might have guessed by the shoegaze record previously reviewed on this blog, I really loved it. Everything was super poppy and catchy, and fun to listen to, but with a bit of added noise and sparkles on the guitar.

Some production highlights from the album: the guitar layers on Not My Baby, the synth and outro in general in Plimsoll Punks, and just everything about Forget About Life, which was a great album closer.

I’m gonna listen to this album (and I plan on also checking out their debut album) so much this year, I just know it.

Score: 8.5/10

Fav Tracks: In Undertow, Dreams Tonite, Not My Baby, Forget About Life

One Recommendation: Not My Baby
