Top 10 Songs of 2014: #5 Alvvays - Archie, Marry Me
27 Dec 2014Alvvays fuzzy pop sound is so great because it’s tough to place in an era. This song could have come out in the 90s and MTV would have put it in the Buzz Bin. Timelessness can elevate a song from just being a fun sing along, and I think that is happening here. When Molly Rankin starts singing over a bit of “wall of sound” guitars, you can sense her longing.
This is a song that gets stuck in your head and doesn’t let go.
