“Blue Rev pushes the band's sound toward dreamier and noisier frontiers, while deepening its narrative-driven songwriting.”
- The New York Times

“Blue Rev both embraces and builds on Alvvays’ starry-eyed dream-pop capturing the group’s 12-string shimmer while layering on wall-of-sound feedback, dizzy synth effects, and cymbal-soaked drumming. Every track sounds like it’s rushing towards you, but nothing sounds rushed.” - Stereogum

“The fact the album even exists stands as testament to the songs’ strength and the resilience of one of the most sublime bands we have.” - NME

"Blue Rev captures Alvvays as they have always existed onstage: more urgent, more dense and noisier, cocooned in distorted guitars and smeared with synthesizers. Live, Rankin plays with a saboteur’s twinkle in her eye; Blue Rev brings that twinkle to life." - Paste

We can count with just one hand the number of days before Alvvays' highly-anticipated third album, Blue Rev, is finally unleashed on the world and today we get one last taste with their new track "After The Earthquake" - rounding out previously released singles “Pharmacist,” “Easy On Your Own?,” “Belinda Says,” and “Very Online Guy.” Catch up ahead of Friday's release with a recent profile of Molly Rankin in The New York Times, plus an interview for Stereogum's Under The Influence series.

Inspired by Haruki Murakami's After the Quake, "After The Earthquake" comes complete with a Murder, She Wrote reference amidst soaring guitars and a hypnotic build that harkens back to the jangle pop influences of their self-titled debut. The band describes it as ‘a rapid fire recital of drive-thru breakdown, tectonic breakup and boyfriend in a coma brake failure’ – watch below. 

Blue Rev drops October 7, but is shipping now from PV HQ, so get your hands on a limited edition Early Bird on Transparent Crystal while supplies last.
