The debut album by Alvvays washed over our ears like a warm wave on an equatorial beach: Sunny, happy, and supremely satisfying as you squish wet sand between your toes. This album - and songs like "Marry Me, Archie" - will stay with you like sand in your hair after a day at the beach.

Fans of guitar-driven pop will fall in love with this reverb-and-fuzz-tinged album.
