the hold blue rev still has on me even almost a year later is impressive. such an incredible album

[@APisceanSlant]

I literally can't stop replaying it, right now. It is such a mood

[@veerchasm1]

We are witnessing a band at it’s peak. I marvel with awe on what this band has become, all of them are performing in perfect sync

[@ectoplasma5]

Indeed,splendid specimens ,highly specialized in their musical instincts. A rare kind nowadays. The symbiotic relation to their Jaguars seems to add to to their agility.

After I finished watching this, I thought to myself, "wow, they play all the great songs in the album." But then I realized they missed 4 of my favorites. That's what 10/10 album do to you all.

[@a.s.2426]

Yes.

[@jorgecalderon4234]

Im completely in love with this album, it has so many landscapes, layers and emotions, Its hypnotic. Everyone's performance is solid AF, but I specially highlight Mollys writing and vocals, Alec's guitar and Sheridan / Kelly´s choirs. Molly sounds like a mourning angel, Its such a beautiful sound!!, and combined with those heartfelt and wisely written lyrics, she directly touches my soul. Alec's masterful control of noise, effects, melody and distortion is such a beautiful and colorful controlled chaos. And Sheridan / Kelly´s backing vocals and choirs also sound like angels, they give solemnity and grandiosity to the overall sound, almost like an opera. I love popstars, but sometimes an introverted people band is much more intense.

[@elliottbrood3506]

Stopping in to mention the job the audio crew did on this. Outstanding

[@otek_]

Oh yeah, too true!

[@noxington4260]

The key change on Belinda Says gives me chills every time

[@triggerthesound767]

Agreed, she is so perfect. I hope she will be their drummer forever.

[@AndersonSilveira]

This new album is surreal! What a band!!

[@dollarsaurus01]

Love that shoegazey glide guitar sound- as a longtime fan of theirs it joys me to see an indie band of their stature giving that style a fresh update

[@markgibson2225]

literally one of the best shoegaze/dreampop bands around and they never get credit for it!!!

[@oomrahman]

Three albums, three performances in KEXP. Alvvays consistent.

[@lequinntessential]

I feel differently about their first album though. I couldn't connect with most of the tracks in that one.

[@bloodfeastmike]

The previous two Alvvays KEXP sessions were a huge part of my discovery of this band, I replayed them endlessly! So it made me smile to see this in my feed this morning. Blue Rev has been a bit of a grower for me, and I realize now that as much as I enjoy the album versions, it's the live versions that I fall in love with.

[@charg4519]

For me it's Molly's vocals. They're too buried on the album, but more front and center here. (For the record I love the album)

[@kevincollins8620]

I'm not in love with Blue Rev like I imagined I would. Hearing them here I'm coming around. Usually skate to !Alvvays. One day I'll give this album a whirl

I love the discussion about replacing the national anthems at hockey games with Heaven is a Place on Earth. That is the most amazing idea I've ever heard and I fully support it!

[@DavidJohnson-tu9ws]

I don’t normally listen to this style of music but this band are out there in a class all of their own. The quality of the songs is just insane, and listen to the vocal harmonies in this session. They are a very tight unit musically, Sheridan on drums and the new bassist are excellent additions.

Would really love to see Pharmacist, Pomeranian Spinster, and Pressed live! Hopefully, soon. Love from the Philippines, Alvvays! 💚

Blue Rev is incredible, to hear what happened with the theft and flooding you can tell they came back swinging. I love the introspective memoir-esque side to alvvays and I wish them nothing but joy and love for as long as they're together. Thanks KEXP, for the awesome audio engineering and videography, and thank you Marco Collins, you did great for the 7 year hiatus. :)

what happened someone stole from them?!
