Toronto based Indie pop band, Alvvays will release their first Japanese edition of 7inch vinyl in July 2022. This Japanese 7inch featured two songs “Not My Baby” from Antisocialites and “Next of Kin” from Alvvays for a cross-album reflection and celebration of the band's catalogue.
Back in 2013, Alvvays released their self-titled debut album, and charmed critics and fans alike with their brand of indie-pop that struck the perfect balance of bittersweet. Their sophomore album, Antisocialites, followed four years later in 2017, and the band once again fronted a strong line-up of singles as John Congleton took over production duties from Chad VanGaalen. For this limited edition 7" inch single, P-VINE has paired “Not My Baby” from Antisocialites with “Next of Kin” from Alvvays for a cross-album reflection and celebration of the band's catalogue. As a pairing, guitars jangle with intricate melodies, snares reverberate 80s nostalgia, and Molly Rankin’s vocals tower above in lucid horizons as lyrics deal with themes of breakups and loss.
