Alcoves are a band. Their genre is driving with the windows down.

Alcoves are what you get when you rent a cabin off the coast of Vancouver Island and haul an Impreza’s worth of studio equipment inside. The Victoria-based trio, comprised of Garrett Olson, Robbie Townsend, and Joel Jeschke, formed in 2021 and has been quietly working away throughout studios across western Canada.

Taking inspiration from artists such as The Strokes, Del Water Gap, and The Japanese House their sound is rooted in the high-fidelity sonics of modern pop but with a tenacious edge, leaning into capturing their energetic live performances.

Don’t Stop Now I Don’t Wanna Miss It, the debut EP, is available now.

You don’t wanna miss it.
