2022 belongs to Alvvays, well that’s according to the current onslaught of year end coverage coming through. Critics nationwide are hailing Alvvays and Blue Rev for one of the year’s best albums including “Belinda Says” being named the #1 song of the year by Pitchfork.

Another song from the album “Many Mirrors,” is today getting its moment in the sun with the band collaborating with video game developer Eric Barone for the music video. Mutual fans of each other’s work, Barone heard “Many Mirrors” and his imagination ran wild, basing the magical video concept on old-school side-scrolling video games.

Of creating the video, Eric says, “It’s not every day I get an email from a cool band like Alvvays. When I learned they were fans of Stardew Valley, it felt like a real honor. The whole album is fantastic, but the song “Many Mirrors” had a pure, adventurous energy to it that really resonated with me. I took that feeling, and used it to create a visual world in my mind’s eye… and that’s what ultimately turned into this video. I had a lot of fun making it, and I’m really happy to be able to contribute, in a small way, to the band’s story!”
