For any and all things Alvvays. I'll start with this newly uploaded live performance on KEXP.

It's pronounced "always." If memory serves, they chose that spelling so they could be found more easily in internet searches.

Alvvays also released the video for "Many Mirrors" from Blue Rev yesterday that was created by ConcernedApe (aka video game developer Eric Barone). His best known game is Stardew Valley. From his Twitter account:
"Hey everyone, I'd like to share a cool thing I made... it's a music video for the band, Alvvays. Some of the band members are Stardew Valley fans & we started talking. I got an early listen to their new album, and the song 'Many Mirrors' resonated with me."

FWIW, Stephen Hyden's a fan. Blue Rev is in his 2022 top 10 (maybe top 5, I don't have it in front of me right now).

"Blue Rev is awash in shoegaze-y guitars and lush synths, and songs such as 'After the Earthquake, 'Many Mirrors,' and 'Easy On Your Own?' sound like if R.E.M.’s Murmur and Monster were put into a blender."

Kerri is the only member that really strikes me as being "nerdy" but the appearance of a band has never really stood in the way of my enjoyment of them. What drew me so strongly to Alvvays at first was their sound. I wasn't really paying much attention to their appearance, nerdy or otherwise.

It makes visiting 3DD a less desirable experience when I can't post without being shit on. Also not helpful when the Admin encourages it. Maybe at some point ya'll will grow the fuck up.
