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.
