Breakthrough Toronto band Alvvays have released a new video for their highly loopable track “Archie, Marry Me” from their self-titled debut album out now. The video is a grainy journey from a wedding to the sea with the band; front woman Molly Rankin had the following to say about it:
“So we made another super-8 video, one where we take ‘take the plunge’ to the logical extreme. The camera exploded at sea so we neutralized the black battery goo with vinegar and kept shooting. My hasty retreat via doggy-paddle was left on the cutting room floor. Go figure.”
Watch the clip below and catch them on tour with Real Estate and Fucked Up.
