"The second album from the Toronto indie pop band is nothing but thoroughly accomplished songs. Alvvays have sharpened their focus without losing sight of themselves." - Pitchfork
“Full of fuzzy-guitar beauty and shoegazing romanticism.” - Rolling Stone
“Molly Rankin turns this heartbreak narrative into dreamy, energetic, fuzz-pop songs about moving forward after being in chaotic relationships.” - Billboard
"Antisocialites is a recipe for the true believers." - SPIN
Five years of Antisocialites is like a lifelong best friend - loyal, encapsulating, evolutionary, and grateful for the time spent scream-singing together, windows down. Alvvays' sophomore album was never going to live in its predecessor's shadow. Rather, the band's self-titled debut simply set the stage for the amped up stylings of Antisocialites to flourish in a world full of fuzzy reverb and dagger-sharp lyricism all its own.
Celebrated directly after its release with a Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year, the project found itself nestled comfortably towards the top of a handful of yearly “Best Of” lists - including the #1 spot on Exclaim's “Top 20 Pop & Rock Albums of 2017” and Side One Track One's “Top 50 Songs of 2017” for lead-single “In Undertow.” As the decade came to a close, Paste listed the record not just at #5 on their “50 Best Indie Rock Album of the 2010s” but also #19 on its overall list of “100 Best Albums of the 2010s,” regardless of genre.
All pre-orders of the latest vinyl pressing of Antisocialites (Clear w/ Yellow Splatter, pictured above) are scheduled to ship on or before September 16.
Now, as their long-awaited third studio album, Blue Rev, screeches around the corner into its final month before its release on October 7, we can only imagine what's to come… Pre-order your copy of the limited edition Early Bird vinyl on Transparent Crystal and grab tickets to their upcoming headline tour now!
