"What They Call Us, Shiver, New Utensils, Kandy, Looking for a Ghost, Carbon Dioxide all top tier Karin cuts"
Wasn't taken by 'Shiver' so much on first listen, but the rest I agree.

Took a few listens for that one to settle in but mmmm love those jagged synths

What they call us I was lukewarm on out of context, but in the context of the album the four song run from that to Kandy was the most immediate part for me. Hit like a brick. Even it out was jarring on first listen for me, you can instantly tell it’s one of the Trent songs and it is odd even for Karin’s standards. But it grows on me more every time I hear it.

Yeah, I expect some growers. 'Shiver' will probably be one of them.

This is why I stopped listening to/following pre release singles in the wake of blue Rev. Had no idea Alvvays had a new album in the works and I’d never been a huge fan of them and i suspect that made my initial listen all the more true and honest and frankly incredible. Same here (minus not having been a fan before)

Yeah I wish I could help myself and refrain from peeping singles but with my all time fav artists I just can’t help myself

Even It Out over Ghost prolly, otherwise yeah agreed there’s a remarkable amount of good shit in there

The way Karin says the “cut, cut, cut” line the second time she does it is the moment I was like “oh okay I kinda fucks with this”
|
| |
I still think what they call us is a pretty average Ray/Knife joint, like it does exactly the thing that plenty of their other tracks have done better in the past, but as an opener I don’t think it needs to be more than that. It’s a tone setter. A reunion with an old familiar friend. It’s a moment of reminiscence.

Yeah it’s got huge here’s-the-palette vibes. Instrumental part of the vision but it’s more bound by context than virtually any other cut here
|

Perfectly put.
I’d say North and Bottom of the Ocean are also quite context-bound, but that’s not a gripe by any means. Tracks like that are important in very conceptually realized albums. Some of my favourite albums are almost entirely context-bound (amnioverse by lapalux for instance)

I haven't actually heard this since I decided it was approaching top tier, but that's most likely true
