lyrics
I ran away without calling, without saying a word
Running free again
Until we meet again
I’m a ghost, I’m a toddler, let me pretend not to hear
I’m a Napoleon
Starting a war again
You stand in your own way (your own way)
And you played it well (and you played it well)
If you’ve been lying (lying)
Now’s the time (now’s the time to tell)
Parents, please love your children
Before they ruin the world
What are you after
Does it matter
You wanted a turn
You ran a race without moving
And you won
Stop buying plastic
Go to practice
Start giving a shit
You stand in your own way (your own way)
And you played it well (and you played it well)
If you’ve been lying (lying)
Now’s the time (now’s the time to tell)

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
A truly stunning album that mentally transports you to foggy early morning streets, the pavement wet from recent rains. Dreary, but in a comforting way. Like sitting next to a window during a rainstorm, listening to the drops hit the glass while remaining warm. Never fails to make me feel safe. Crow Yo
New York indie pop duo embark on an ambitious, ecstatic spirit quest, crafted with continuous listening in mind; a dreamy, rewarding loop. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 7, 2023
Market, from Melbourne, fuse soul and chillwave on a wonderfully woozy song with rubbery guitars & breathy harmonies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 19, 2020
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
