God Is in the TV
Expect catchy hooks, dreamy melodies, irresistible loud and quiet moments, crashing waves of sound combined with sweet harmonies and self-deprecating lyrics.

It’s better than it has any right to be, a vividly realized debut with the bold, exploratory confidence of a mid-career release.

The Line of Best Fit
In times like these, it is important to reflect and look forward, and this is something that Slow Pulp have skilfully mastered. A hearty welcome to a band that will charm their way to the top.

Beats Per Minute
The album glistens, yet is wholly intimate, like a childhood keepsake still on your bedroom shelf.

It may have had a painful journey with hellish events at every turn but Moveys is, for the most part, heavenly.

AllMusic
An album full of attractive, melancholy guitar atmospheres that takes a couple of abrupt diversions.

For the most part, Moveys is a well-structured album. The tracklist reflects the monotony and fatigue of depression, with alternating textures that keep things engaging, a grungy crooner alongside a triumphant piano interlude.

ILIWW: If you are ever searching for an easygoing album to listen through, consider giving this 26 minute LP a chance. Movey's is an extremely simple sample of what indie rock has to offer, demonstrated in a comfortable, familiar yet individual manner. Despite its looseness, this record is still clean in its production, and wonderful in its listening. So easy, it's hard not to love.

This is an indie record I stumbled across that is a bit inconsistent imo but is still a decent listen. I really enjoyed the track New Horse for how scenic and expansive it feels. Very pretty chords. I feel like the album does jump around a lot in kind of a strange way? I think that this band has a lot of potential tho, the vocalist is great

Been meaning to get to this one for a while. Nice little dreamy, soft night-time campfire vibe. Really like Falling Apart.

there are three absolute all-time, best of the decade songs on this one. a little too slight elsewhere to feel like a complete package, but certainly an announcement of a very good band coming into their own.

I could have sworn that this was another one of phoebe bridgers' side projects the first time i heard it. The second time around I was convinced it was actually alvvays with a different name, and to be honest it somewhat still feels like it and i'm grateful for that.
On the surface alvvays seems like a (somewhat) generic indie rock band but they are truly one of the greatest musicians of our generation, and to replicate their sound is not an easy task at all. If it weren't for ... read more
