Now remastered and reissued along with the track Underneath Us to celebrate the album's glorious tenth anniversary. Alvvays feels confident from end to end, from the album-opening anthemic Adult Diversion, haunting you with love, to the escapist science fiction of Red Planet. In just over 30 minutes, Alvvays tell us about loving someone to death (Next of Kin), how keeping secrets ruins what you think you want (The Agency Group), and another ballsy song about society's demands on love and marriage (Atop a Cake). When Molly Rankin, Alec O'Hanley, Kerry McLellan, and Brian Murphy recorded these songs with Chad VanGalen in 2013, long before they had a recording contract, they were essentially young people trying to figure out these looming difficulties on their own. Again, these challenges don't get old; some of us were just lucky enough to be able to get away from them.
