Archie, Marry Me by Alvvays

cliffmiddleton’s jam on 2 Aug ’14 and then once after that (See all)

“Jammed this last year when it came out. It only improves with age though! It really is perfect indie pop in the same tradition as 'There She Goes' and 'Waterfall' only from the girl's point of view. Best Moment? Just after the bridge going into the final chorus + repeat chorus with variations, when the band drops out for a bar so that Molly Rankin's vocals almost seem suspended in mid-air. An impossible-to-resist fists-aloft moment!”

I know I've had this as a jam before but it was so euphoric and magic at Reading Festival this weekend I couldn't help but choose it again

With all of the horrors of the past week behind us, it's time to get back to looking forward to the rest of 2015... Over the next two weeks I'll be doing just that, well musical speaking at any rate. Every other day I'll be posting tracks from new up and coming artists, some broke through last year whilst others are just on their way, enjoy...   6
