The sweetly-sad single that made many fall in love with Toronto’s Alvvays is now a video! Check out “Archie, Marry Me” from the band’s self-titled LP for the first time above. The band comments on the video as such:
“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.”
