Blue Rev - Marbled Blue

Product Information

The results are beyond question: Blue Rev has more twists and surprises than Alvvays’ cumulative past, and the band seems to revel in these taken chances. I fall into that record’s world and I stay there until it’s uninhabitable and the CD doesn’t work in my car anymore.

Last month, the band earned their first-ever Grammy nomination for the Blue Rev favorite “Belinda Says,” which is up for Best Alternative Music Performance. Every element of Alvvays leveled up in the long interim between albums: Riley is a classic dynamo of a drummer, with the power of a rock deity and the finesse of a jazz pedigree.Alvvays are fans of fastidious demos, making maps of new tunes so complete they might as well have topographical contour lines. Following their shows in Australia and New Zealand, the band is slated to take a much-needed break from touring.

Inspired By Belinda Carlisle’s Heaven Is A Place On Earth (of course), it’s a fictional story of a pregnant woman leaving with ‘nothing in pocket’ and seeing ‘how it goes’.

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.

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. We have a regular newsletter with the week’s new releases that goes out every Thursday or Friday too. The luminous poser kiss-off of “Velveteen,” the lovelorn confusion of “Tile by Tile,” the panicked but somehow reassuring rush of “After the Earthquake”.By accepting all cookies, you agree to our use of cookies to deliver and maintain our services and site, improve the quality of Reddit, personalize Reddit content and advertising, and measure the effectiveness of advertising. Pharmacist,’ the first track on the album, is an exciting jumping off point for what is sure to be one of the albums of the year. Much like the sound, the sentiment is so layered and dreamy that the real pain underneath is obscured, almost invisible. 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. 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.

This mix is super interesting, the vocals go from drowned by everything else to being front and center (After the Earthquake). Aside from those mix discrepancies this is super enjoyable, details otherwise missing or extremely drowned due to compression in the digital version shine through here, feels like a completely different mix!
