Alvvays - Very Online Guy [Official Video]

From Blue Rev, Out Now

Directed by Colby Richardson, Alec O'Hanley, and Molly Rankin

Lyrics:
he's a very online guy
he likes to hit reply
he's incredibly vigilant
hair with the feathered wings
he likes to pull the strings
it's incredibly visible
we all know everything that he says and does
leave your location on and just follow the buzz
he's only one filter away
he's only one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy he types his cool replies
he's incredibly animal
front of the wedding trains
he laps up all domains
and he loves a patio
he's only one flicker away
he's only one photo one filter away
like a thinning wave what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid of sudden change
but when you're close to me does anyone notice?
life disintegrates what was it supposed to be?
the truth is i'm afraid to turn away
but when you're ghosting me does anyone notice?
he's only one filter away
he's only one photo one flicker away
he's only one photo one follow one filter away
he's a very online guy

This band writes some of the most masterful bridges. You know one's coming, but you have no idea where it's going to take you.

[xXThegabenatorXx]

Never buy no weed from the gas station bro

[Morto]

watching this in 144p in the smallest window possible is an experience.

[kijetesantakaluSokete]

I love how Alvvays has started becoming more experimental because they're so good at it.

[isaacyote]

1:21 the bridge on this is absolutely amazing

[Sushicola]

I'm a Japanese high school student and I am a big fan of Alvvays. Their songs make every day wonderful. Thank you very much!

It's cool to see one of my favorite bands write a song about my best friend, Nick Mullen.

[gingerbate]

this track is a liminal space, like an empty supermall at midnight. i can't resist going back time and again.

Lyrics (in description):

He's a very online guy
He likes to hit reply,
He's incredibly vigilant
Hair with the feathered wings
He likes to pull the strings,
It's incredibly visible

We all know everything that he says and does
Leave your location on and just follow the buzz
He's only one filter away,

He's only one follow, one filter away

He's a very online guy, he types his cool replies,
He's incredibly animal
Front of the wedding trains,
He laps up all domains
And he loves a patio

He's only one flicker away,
He's only one photo, one filter away

Like a thinning wave, what was it supposed to be?
The truth is, I'm afraid of sudden change
But when you're close to me, does anyone notice?
Life disintegrates, what was it supposed to be?
The truth is, I'm afraid to turn away
But when you're ghosting me, does anyone notice?

He's only one filter away,
He's only one photo, one flicker away
He's only one photo, one follow, one filter away

He's a very online guy

The entire album... just absolute power/dream pop perfection. This is, without a doubt, one of those VERY rare, seminal/hallmark albums of the genre from the last 50 years. I've been listening to it non-stop since Friday. A simply beautiful achievement. Melodies flying all throughout my head on repeat... THIS ALBUM !!

[urkin]

Love Molly's moves on 1:38 so cool!

[lukerobinson]

Holy shit the layering and mixing of this track is fucking phenomenal. Synths sound so beautifully ethereal, I adore the drum mixing in this, especially towards the end, whatever they used to create that cymbal sound is crazy, almost sounds like static but I love it, harmonies are great as always. Can't wait for the album!

[pidsadny]

I write music about human relationships with technology, and this song is absolutely PERFECT! I wish I wrote it!!! ツ

[marceloadelar]

Every single song that has been dropped teasing Blue Rev is convincing me this album will be Alvvays' defining masterpiece.

Dude I searched "Boys Alvvays Be Boys Memes" and typed the Alvvays cuz my VV keyboard key is broken, then this shovved up:

MY favourite part of this video is the fact that if you scrub through the thumbnails on the timeline, the video looks kinda clear

[bobthebuilder-bi]

It's just reverb/echo with a lot of overdubs. And I love it lol

[DIGITALSWOON]

looks like it was animated in a 90s video game. this is fucking awesome. so well done and original. the movements, the background stripes, all of it.

[floga]

Insanely cool song insanely cool visuals fuck this is pure crack

[astrid_autumn]

I am so ready for this album, can’t wait to get my vinyl and shirt in the mail!
