Now with three LPs under their belt, it's safe to say that ALVVAYS are a very consistent band - almost 40 songs in 8 years and not a bad one in the bunch. The name of the game here is still the excellent indie-pop they've built their rep on, but now with heavier guitar scuzz and some neat production tricks like the synth line on "Very Online Guy" (which feels to us almost like a 2022 update of KRAFTWERK's "The Model"). Another draw is Molly Rankin's lyrics - perfectly wry and poignant and ready to meet you where you're at. It's not hard to image Alvvays still cranking out great records like this one every few years a decade or two down the line, just like YO LA TENGO or TEENAGE FANCLUB. They have a big and bright future ahead of them, that's for sure. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It's finally here folks, the record that's brought about as much attention to the flute recently as Lizzo, Andre 3000's meditative "New Blue Sun." Produced alongside the great Carlos Nino, Andre has created something truly special here that we hope will prove any possible skeptics wrong. At nearly 90 minutes, this is a deep & heady listen. A record that sits somewhere between 60s/70s spiritual jazz by greats like Pharoah Sanders & Roland Kirk, 80s new age lala the legendary Laraaji & even Japanese video game music. Andre is no flute shredder, his playing is pretty straight-ahead & almost rudimentary but the spirit behind this feels as pure as can be. RECOMMENDED.

Co-written and produced by LEONARD COHEN.

REGULAR FROM GREEN MILL MAKES GOOD WITH THIS RELEASE. GREAT SONGS LIKE "ALFIE", "SUMMER SAMBA", & "JUST FOR THE THRILL"
