This week Oliver looks at the new record from Canadian Dream Pop group Alvvays, 'Blue Rev'. This album carries the typical bubbly Alvvays sound, but is more fierce and noisy than their previous two releases. Also featured is L.A. band Cheekface, a band who's songwriting process is described as the band members trying to make each other laugh, but this doesn't mean they don't create great music with significant lyrical themes.

Oliver continues his exploration of alternative country legends The Jayhawks, and checks out Philly art rock and garage punk artist Ron Gallo.
