Last month indie pop band Alvvays returned after a five year break with new song “Pharmacist” and details of an upcoming album. Today the band are offering up a second taste of Blue Rev, due October 7, in the shape of “Easy On Your Own?”
“Easy On Your Own?,” much like “Pharmacist,” is a richly melodic pop jam, but where that first single kept things sweet and light this one goes a little darker with the band exploring shoegaze-y textures in the production.
Alvvays will hit the road shortly after the release of Blue Rev, with a lengthy headline tour running through until mid-November. The run, which includes shows at The Wiltern in LA and NYC’s Kings Theater, will feature support from Slow Pulp. See below for full date and venue details.
