Alvvays - Blue Rev
A mixture of caffeine and vodka, the Toronto drink called Blue Rev, gives the title of Alvvays' third album. Replace the caffeine with shoegaze, the vodka with jangle pop, adding a pinch of dream pop to sweeten it all: we have a good overview of the content of this disc.
Blue Rev interrupts 5 years of silence with no less than 14 vignettes as playful as they are effective. In this register, this quantity can frighten; but, packaged in 33 minutes, the titles, with variations yet rich in sugar, can be swallowed without difficulty.
After suffering the theft of their equipment with their first demos, as well as a flood calling into question a good part of their work, the Alvvays quintet did not give up and even showed remarkable progress, demonstrating that gaining amplitude in no way prevents spontaneity.

Let's hope not to wait 5 years for a sequel!
