Don’t forget that you’re human
So insignificant in time
And so hard to define
These vines they pull you under
A product of your absent mind
Why so tight and unkind?
No matter how much you shine it, it still has stains
It's just your human nature
To be afraid of what you’ll find
When you quiet your mind
Don’t try to fill what’s left there
You’ll rob the beauty on the other side of despair
No matter how much you shine it, it still has stains
Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley
Don't believe the name of their latest album; jangle-pop hooks and stacked grunge guitars are two of the Bay Area band's greatest gifts. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 16, 2023
