Vinyl love: Alvvays “Antisocialites”

(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”

Vinyl love: Alvvays “Alvvays”

(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: Alvvays
Year released: 2014
Details: electric blue vinyl, 180 gram


The skinny: The highly buzzed debut by the Toronto-based indie pop five-piece, led by Molly Rankin, is worth the hype. The album sounds like something pulled from the famed C86 compilation, all jangle, noise, and sunshine.

Standout track: “Archie, marry me”
