Is that the one you call on your walk home?
Is that the one you loved before you came here?
Is that the one who kept it all together before you left town? Is that me?
Two people in the city
Only one is from the city Soaking all the lights up
And all of the excitement
I can’t believe we made it When we really haven’t made it We just want to hear the stories And be apart of something
I call you every single week
So we can have some time to speak About the things that are going right And what tomorrow’s looking like
I know she only wants me to
Be happy and include her too
I call you every single week
So we can have some time to speak I wanna hear about your life
You only wanna hear about mine The stories that you want to hear Like hanging from a chandelier Don’t tell us about each other none I need you here to have real fun
I love you more than I thought x4
I love you more than I thought I could

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
These tracks are straightforward and concise, never relying on gauzy metaphors to complicate her declarations of love. Bandcamp Album of the Day Dec 20, 2017
Dreamy, intricate guitar pop from Oakland's Absent City; splashes of accordion, sitar, lap steel, and mandolin add textural richness. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 26, 2020
