(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: Alvvays
Album Title: Antisocialites
Year released: 2017
Details: limited edition, pink
The skinny: It’s the sophomore release by Toronto-based indie pop quartet led by Molly Rankin. The jury is still out since it’s still so new but initial spins have this one ranking just as high on the playability scale as their self-titled debut.
Standout track: “In undertow”
