Hey, what’s with all the rage?
You know you wouldn’t catch me dead there anyway, but still I’ll say that I can wish you all the best
with it.
And there, alone at the end, catch that sinking feeling.
That’s misery.
It’s one for you and it’s one for me.
It’s misery and here’s all the best with it.
What’s real or a part of the deal?
You know you’d never be allowed to choose anyway, but still you say ‘Hey what’s that pissing,
trickling down?’
Well it’s misery.
It’s not what we deserve and not what we need.
And you wanna change it? Well then you can lead.
Yeah that’s misery.
And it’s one for you and then it’s one for me, and I see that death squad coming hastily.
You know that pale rider faithfully.
‘Hey what’s that pissing trickling down is it?
What a fun, engaging album. A very dynamic mix of airy, dreamy indie pop and pounding, energetic indie rock. You’d think these two styles would clash, but they meld perfectly in these ten songs. With such a broad scope of pop and rock styles on display here, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy. Kirk Gauthier
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
As far as indie albums in the 2010's and beyond go, this is one of the most cohesive and emotive albums I've experienced looking back on it and is Jay Som's best album tokyonoir
Narratively focused art-pop from the British musician formerly known as East India Youth; features contributions from Brian Eno and others. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 22, 2024
Absolutely brilliant, dreamy indie folk-rock. Most of the songs are somewhere between two and three minutes but feel as though they last a lifetime (in a good way). Beautifully heart-wrenching from beginning to end. Kirk Gauthier
