Stomping on the bleachers
Beautiful creatures
Waiting for the nightfall
20 ways to drown it all
Maybe we could freeze this
Maybe we could leave this place
You’re my savior
Listen to the preacher
I can be your rock ‘n’ roll teacher
Show it on my face I
I’m a known seeker
Maybe you’ll stay right here for the sequel
Fire in your dark world
Run Run Run
Talk about my black curls
Bite your tongue
Somebody say
“I want to be here”
Not dragged down
Raised up
not background
“I want to be here”
not backseat
SHOTGUN
Feeling in our guts
Got me stuck
Need power
Need luck
Never knew i could
Feel so good
New power
New love
You’re my savior
Listen to the preacher
I can be your rock ‘n’ roll teacher
Show it on my face I
I’m a known seeker
Maybe you’ll stay right here for the sequel
Fire in your dark world
Run Run Run
Talk about my black curls
Bite your tongue

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

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
Sparkling synthpop with an emphasis on high-wattage chords and the kind of melodies that burrow themselves deep in the brain. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2023

This is undoubtedly my single favorite album of all time. It feels like such a perfect culmination of all the themes and ideas Fleet Foxes has been working with since 2008. It answers many of the questions found on both Helplessness Blues and Crack-Up, and represents an incredible maturation and growth in Robin Pecknold's perspective. Their other albums are certainly masterpieces, but this, in my opinion, is their magnum opus. I doubt it will be recognized as such in its time. isaiah_stuart
