Blue Rev - Marbled Blue

Product Information

And everyone in the band has played on the record, so we all feel like we’re part of this thing that we made together. If you encounter these issues with our vinyl, we will send replacements when appropriate and if copies of the records are still available. It’s the realisation that a person who you believed to be a central figure in your life is no longer that version. This hybridized approach allowed the band to harness each song’s absolute core, then grace it with texture and depth.

The highly anticipated album is well worth the wait, with 14 songs hitting all the right chords and cementing their cult status. It is a cultural hallmark of my youth, so whether it’s gross or not, it remains vivid and a cornerstone.As such, each slab of Antisocialites (2017) [orange + blue] and Blue Rev (2022) [black + blue] wax gets its own one-of-a-kind, sleeve-matching aesthetic spin. Alvvays’ self-titled debut will turn 10 years old next summer, but Rankin says celebration plans are still up in the air. For items that are dispatched using our standard service, we ask that you wait 14 days from the date of dispatch before reporting any items as undelivered. Rankin says the band will most likely attend the awards ceremony, noting it’s a full-circle moment since the album was recorded at Los Angeles’ Sunset Sound. It’s reflecting on the energy of going home and confronting your past and the way that things have changed, something of which we’ve all experienced at some point.

It’s a problem in terms of waking up in the middle of the night with certain lyrics spinning around my head or knowing most of the chords before Pitchfork have even published their review, but sometimes, I just can’t help myself. Sure, it arrives a few years later than expected, but the answer for Alvvays is actually simple: They’ve changed gradually, growing on Blue Rev into one of their generation’s most complete and riveting rock bands. benevolent collegiate rolled his eyes and walked away and if you could believe it his stride is lengthened by his sense of wonder oh well i lost that shine didn't i? I was scoping our whole discography, and my phone was just going crazy and I didn’t want to be rude, so I wasn’t looking at anything,” she says.Named for the sugary alcoholic beverage Rankin and MacLellan used to drink as teens on rural Cape Breton, Blue Rev looks both back at that country past and forward at an uncertain world, reckoning with what we lose whenever we make a choice about what we want to become. Regarding the album itself, this is some of the most infectious, brilliant indie music I've heard in a long time, and cements Alvvays' status as one of my favorite artists ever. From the swirling, all-encompassing wall-of-sound guitars that drape around each song, to the pitch-bending Korg that is so central to the band’s sound, it’s Molly Rankin’s lyrics and vocals that catch me every single time. In fact, the band began writing and cutting its first bits soon after releasing 2017’s Antisocialites, that stunning sophomore record that confirmed the Toronto quintet’s status atop a new generation of winning and whip-smart indie rock. The manipulated vocals over lo-fi production makes it a clever opus that brings you back to the wry humour that Alvvays are very good at- offsetting the other heartbreaking themes.

This mix is super interesting, the vocals go from drowned by everything else to being front and center (After the Earthquake). Lyrics like ‘those days, I’d never let you fall apart but things fade like the scent of a brand new car’ from After The Earthquake hint at the growth and changes of relationships; a tale of once having had the power and emotional adversity to get their partner through anything but now it’s beginning to fade. But in October 2021, when they arrived at a Los Angeles studio with fellow Canadian Shawn Everett, he urged them to forget the careful planning they’d done and just play the stuff, straight to tape. Check with your local post office and see if they can provide more information on where your package is and when it is scheduled to be delivered. You’re almost unable to pinpoint what era this track is from; its big 80s keys with layered harmonies cradle the MBV-like guitars for the big Belinda Belt that Rankin gives at the end of the last verse (what a vocal register this gal has).It’s that first visit to your hometown after moving away and noticing the club you first got knocked back from as a preteen is now a bank, or something. Every Bandbox includes the album of your choice (from over 100 options) and an issue of our full-color 16-page fanzine, centered around your selected artist. Alvvays are fans of fastidious demos, making maps of new tunes so complete they might as well have topographical contour lines.
