On their much anticipated sophomore record, Alvvays’ jangly dream pop is refined into a manic emotional collage. From it’s opening track, “In Undertow,” which details a fantasy breakup and the coming-into-yourself that happens after, to its closing track, “Forget About Life,” where our protagonist drinks shitty wine amidst the menacing towers of the city, Antisocialites, is a powerful reset while showcasing what we’ve come to love about Alvvays - sharp wit, and dark thoughts nestled under ….

“The second album from the Toronto indie pop band is nothing but thoroughly accomplished songs. Alvvays have sharpened their focus without losing sight of themselves.” - Pitchfork

Alvvays is the product of East Coast roots merged into the glitter of the city. On their debut album, Alvvays takes a deep dive into heartbreak, abandonment, and reckoning with age. How is it possible for a record to inhibit feelings of sadness and joy simultaneously? These are the strings that Alvvays delicately pull, a shimmering mess tangle of synth, nostalgia, but always tinged with at least a little hopefulness. 

“A sharply drawn indie-pop wonder, steeped in romance, wit, and melody.” - Rolling Stone

Anemone’s debut begins at the end, and doesn’t try to keep you guessing. Beat My Distance details a breakup and its aftermath through psychedelic twists, rapidly shifting genres and moods, anchored by Chloe Soldevila’s powerful voice and bright melodies. This record feels like being inside a kaleidoscope - the fog begins to clear and everywhere you look there is colour.

“The group’s debut jangles and clashes and swirls. They dip in and out of the past and present, sounding retro but not gaudy, like they’re slipping on a dusty costume.”  - Now Toronto

"...a ripping dose of raw power that hearkens right back to '90s punk and grunge." - Brooklyn Vegan

Boniface’s debut album reads like a diary - pages flowing freely of heartbreak, nostalgic musings, their most formative coming of age moments. An exploration of identity and reminiscent of 80s synth, Boniface creates singalong choruses; ear worms that get stuck in your head and don’t leave.

"Boniface is a complex record about simple things, the same story told from a thousand different perspectives. Like an entire summer condensed into a diamond, each facet reveals some new detail." - Exclaim!

------------

The word that jumps to mind when hearing Deanna Petcoff's music for the first time is “yearning”. A whirlwind of emotions, her debut record To Hell With You, I Love You is a reckoning with the loss of a relationship, documenting the aggressive highs and deeply emotional lows that come from falling out of love. 

Recorded in Toronto over the course of a year, she was able to look more closely at the nuances and minutiae of relationships and examine the ways in which they can either grow or falter. She writes about her frustrating experiences as a 24-year old woman finding her voice and identity while navigating an ever changing world, exploring the ins and outs of love and heartbreak with a grace and quick wit that belies her year. Her rich, textured voice juxtaposes her soft imagery and her vulnerable and starkly honest lyrics welcome us into a world where even a fleeting moment of emotion can become its own monument.

Based in Toronto, ON, Petcoff shaped her own unique brand of beautiful and confessional indie rock through years of devotion to music, sharing stage with the likes of Molly Burch, Tokyo Police Club, The Nude Party and many more. She excels with heart-on-her-sleeve, emotive lyricism that showcases her strength as a songwriter and a vocalist, and on To Hell With You, I Love You, she wanted to present “the whirlwind of emotions you have when you’re grieving a relationship, which can feel like the death of a part of you or what you thought your life was going to look like.” It’s an album that ebbs and flows with a confidence and an assuredness as she tackles the highs and lows of falling in and out of love, and everything in between.

“It’s so easy to get caught up in things when someone is showing you attention, that you forget to clock whether you like them at all,” she explains when discussing the cheeky and sardonic “Devastatingly Mediocre”, a cutting takedown of an extremely average boyfriend. Discussing how she “wanted to capture what it feels like to want to be open when you’re feeling closed off,” she fizzes and bursts with laconic self-deprecation on “Trash Bag”, taking aim inwards and lamenting her woes (“Sorry I’m pathetic / I think I need a medic / To help me put my shoes on”). Album closer “Sing With Me” sees Deanna sing with a pleading but resigned desperation to a partner she can feel slipping away (“I don't need you to know how to dance / Or even know how to romance / I just want you to sing with me”) while on “I Don’t Wanna Get Over You”, she feels her heart moving on despite her head wanting to stay (“I guess I’m just a sucker for a boy who’s nice to his mother / A phenomenal lover, hope that I can find another”).

"From Oshawa, ON emerge Dizzy, a group making delicate pop that wraps around listeners like sticky summer heat. Their debut album, Baby Teeth, features clear guitar lines, arpeggiated synths and minimal beats, while vocalist Katie Munshaw's calm vocal fits seamlessly into the languid arrangements of tracks" - Exclaim

On their 2018 Juno-winning debut, Baby Teeth, Dizzy reflect on the emotional landscape of post-adolescence. The Sun and Her Scorch is a departure: where Baby Teeth was fraught with the sadness of late teenage years, TSAHS muses introspective darkness and tackles “self-heartbreak,” as frontwoman Katie Munshaw describes it.

With TSAHS, Dizzy confess their messiest, darkest emotions and spin them into a collection of warm and vulnerable tracks that you can’t help but sing along to. “With the new album especially, I’m saying things I wouldn’t ever say to anyone out loud, and now I’m going to be singing them in front of hundreds of people,” says Munshaw. “I think the main thing I’d like people to take away is the idea that everybody probably has these negative thoughts about themselves sometimes, but it’s okay—you’re really not that bad. And if there’s an underlying philosophy to our band, it’s to be confident and believe in yourself no matter what.”
