Antisocialites is the second studio album by Canadian indie pop band Alvvays, released on September 8, 2017, through Polyvinyl, Royal Mountain, Transgressive and Inertia.
[1] The music is described by fans as having a more focused and radio-friendly sound than their self-titled album,[2] while incorporating their original fuzzy styled guitars with catchy indie rock hooks.
In a review from Pitchfork, critic Marc Hogan praised the album as being "thoroughly accomplished".
[3] Several critics noted that the album was darker than the band's 2014 debut -- Paste Magazine writer Steven Edelstone found the band's comparatively more serious lyrical content as "uneasy", but still a "record that begs to be blasted on road trips and at rooftop parties",[4] while Mike Katzif of NPR interpreted the album's lead track "In Undertow" as a "darker spiritual sequel" to their 2014 breakthrough single "Archie, Marry Me".
