Sitting at #19 on the Village Voice Pazz & Jop poll is the best of the tracks that are new to me.
‘Archie, Marry Me,’ a wall-of-sound burst of lo-fi pop by Toronto-based quintet Alvvays, is instantly likable in a way nothing else on this list has been.
This song sounds like it could have been recorded in any of the last seven decades, which is a unique compliment.
