the fact that they grew up together on an island is such a sweet origin story. you can definitely feel that energy in their music. what a blessing they have given us letting us into their world
Yes, Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton Island - 2 really cool places!
agreed, I love the connection between Molly, Kerri and Alec! Truly wonderful!!!
They are so charming
Totally agree
Can confirm. Briefly met Molly and Kerri last month in Austin. Molly was nice, and Kerri was possibly one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.
They truly deserve the success they’ve worked so hard for.
@@TheForlornEidolon777 I was at that same show and met them outside their tour bus at 1 AM with some other fans. Double confirmation, and Sheridan, their drummer, is also really really cool. Perhaps one of the most laid-back people I have ever met. BTW I really appreciate your recording of the entire show so I could share it with my friends and relisten to it myself! Thank you so much!
I am sad this video is only five minutes. They come across as both humble and dryly hilarious. I love the band, and seeing these small conversations between them gives you even more insight into them as people, and what makes their music so special for their fans.
fish center live interview was also hilarious
The fact that these two girls are still friends and do such amazing music together honestly is inspiring that there's still wholesome energy in this world
Truth
This is why their music is so captivating. They really do make a great team. Love Alvvays❤
There should be a movie about Molly and Kerri as childhood friends who grow up and eventually tour the world together
"Angus is the big kahuna" - Kerri
always is the greatest band on earth. molly is an icon
She is inspiring
Dang, that was a great interview. FWIW, Blue Rev is awesome. I think it's my favorite Alvvays album, overall.
I just discovered this band for myself, and I'm so happy. The more I learn, the more I like them.
i could listen to them talk for 4 hours
They are brutally adorable.
I love Molly's description of her love for water.
yeah, water often appears in Alvvays' lyrics
this is also a bit eery considering that Molly's dad drowned in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence
Loved seeing the old photos/films.
blue rev aoty
they’re so captivating i was surprised when the video ended!!
This might be the best interview I ever saw. Great Convo topics, interesting people, great production and editing. It makes me feel happy. I've never watched an interview multiple times before!
Seeing them live for the first time this wednesday cant waitttt
enjoy! they are incredible ❤
Fauna Primavera? Ahí estaremosss
watched them 4 days ago. was the first concert of my life. my first band i have ever actually become a genuine fan. first time i listened to a full album. and they deserve it
The singer in this band is a vibe
She is a force of nature
Album of the year for me. Tom Verlaine brings a darn tear to my eye
Kerri…you are so very! I would love nothing more than to have a looooong conversation with her in front of a fireplace with a (possibly many) bottle of wine.
Everything they mention in the video, about their music, I find to be true. Especially the idea of identifying a specific time that it is being created. Many songs could be straight out of shoegaze’s earliest appearance in the 80’s, or during the second wave in the early 90’s. I just love that about Alvvays, and so far, not only have I not tired of any song or record, but I have just accepted that sometimes putting an Alvvays record on repeat is the right thing to do!
See, me? I'm a simple man. I see a video with Alvvays, I hit the like button. Haven't watched it but another great video Pitchfork, 10/10 banger
3:18 reminds me of one of those situations where only close friends understand what a person is saying but to most others it's not understandable
Lmao yes! We’re just nodding along laughing having no idea what’s going on
They're so talented! Just caught them live in Toronto and it was AWESOME. 💗
Just heard their new album. First time I've listened to them and I can't wait to listen to the rest of their catalogue. Very talented musicians who seem to have great personalities as well!
What a treat! Blue Rev is definitely one of the great timeless records to come out in 2022.
It's so great to hear more about the album. Thanks, Pitchfork
Love it. Insane that it has already been 5 years since Antisocialites.
Can you make this an hour long
I love them beyond words.
If I have kids I'm naming them Molly, Kerri, and Alec
I love everything about them
That point about water is so amazing. I live landlocked and anytime I'm around the ocean there definitely is a different energy
"there's a certain energy in the sound of a thought forming" is a crazy beautiful line to think up impromptu in the middle of a throwaway pitchfork video Molly is otherworldly
ah yes the famous "water canadians."
Jeez, I love listening to them talk.
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH
Love them and love the love for them in these comments.
My favorite band ❤
they're so cool. aaghh!
Molly is such a deep, interesting, intelligent, and beautiful woman.
As fun as their music is don’t be fooled: the waters run deep 👍🏻😊
love love this
I could listen to them talk for hours
I do miss the early 2000s and 90s.
Me too.
It's so weird that people all of a sudden miss the early 00's. People used to hate the 00's and everyone wanted it to be the 80's and 90's. They'd say 2001 was the end of the dream due to 9/11.
Great content.
I adore this band.
They remind me of some of the best alternative bands I grew up with in the mid-late 1980s, the ones where I'd stay up really late to watch them on "MTV's 120 Minutes".
Yeah they seem very inspired by 80s indie pop/rock. I love that 80s indie stuff so I’m curious to check out this band now.
I love them
kerry so nervous haha cute
First 3 tracks on Blue Rev are unbeatable. Oh, and Very Online Guy.
Editing here goes unexpectedly hard
love u kerri ❤..love u alvvays
Molly wore this fit for the Chicago concert
no you dont get it theyre my babies i love them 😭😭
Woah
Continuing the legend of the pipers. Just a bunch of kids having fun.
❤️❤️
Fantastic. Nearly as good as the little bounce Molly tends to do onstage.
Alvvays
Kerri is so beautiful maaan😔
Kerri is the coolest
Please headline pitchfork ‘23 🙏
They should rename as Bagppipes
they don't know yet but were best friends
Molly is so cute.
Their music features Synth with a capital S
They are also Specks with a capital S
Scooby Doo gang is back :)
i love molly so fkn much
Pitchfork y’all really slept on Alvvays huh 😂All joking aside their new album is amazing
Belinda Says was their Track of the Year this year and Blue Rev got Best New Music, they were pretty favorable to Antisocialites too
Pretty sure they were being sarcastic since Pitchfork hyped them up to unfathomable levels every chance they get.
Narduwar interview with Alvvays WHEN?
He already did one. I remember watching it on UA-cam a few months ago
theyre so weird but it makes sense
Brilliant*
That ned russin
LOL
First
first
Quite Scottish 🙄
