MNAC playlist addition: Velveteen
Alvvays are a new experience for me - a very pleasant one too. Their indie pop sound is easy to enjoy.
Some of the tracks reminded me of The Beths - New Zealand's own indie pop band fronted by a talented female. Velveteen is an example - even down to the vocal inflections. Pomeranian Spinster, After The Earthquake are others. I'm sure they are operating independently but it was sure close. Maybe it's the commonwealth connection - loved those songs anyway.
Aside from that Blue Rev presents a pretty cool dream pop sound. Best songs in that vein are Lottery Noises and Easy On Your Own.
Another clear highlight is Belinda Says, with some lovely distorted guitars and the vocals are superb.
All up - a delightful experience Tom - thanks for the introduction!
BTW Tom Verlaine appears only in the last few lines of that song as a vague presence so nothing to read into that one.
