We are pleased to announce the 10th Anniversary Edition of Alvvays' self-titled debut - out physically November 15. Pre-order your copy on Cerulean in Cloudy Clear vinyl, which includes a fold-out poster illustrated by Chad Van Gaalen. Remastered by Bernie Grundman, Alvvays (10th Anniversary Edition) features a vinyl-exclusive bonus track "Underneath Us". 

In February 2024, Alvvays' second song and single, “Archie, Marry Me,” reached a rarified threshold for our streaming age — 100 million listens through a single platform. For the world’s biggest pop stars that’s an average achievement, but for an upstart indie rock band then writing in a backroad farmhouse on a Canadian island, it represented a staggering proof of connection and widespread resonance. Instantly relatable, it is an anthem about prescribed social expectations and delighting, however noncommittally, in outcast status.

Chock-full of deadpan jangle, the record opens with stalking-you-with-love anthem “Adult Diversion” and closes with ennui escapism of sci-fi closer “Red Planet.” In a little more than 30 minutes, Alvvays give us a song about loving someone to actual death (“Next of Kin”), how keeping secrets will destroy what you think you want (“The Agency Group”), and another incisive song about the societal demands of love and marriage (“Atop a Cake”). When Molly Rankin, Alec O’Hanley, Kerri MacLellan, and Brian Murphy cut these songs with Chad VanGaalen in 2013, long before they had a record deal, they were, in fact, young adults trying to figure out these encroaching exigencies for themselves. Again, these problems don’t age; some of us just happen to be lucky enough to age out of them.

Alongside the announcement, Alvvays grace the latest Paste digital cover - read the interview now.
