Toronto’s own Alvvays are set to return with Antisocialites, the follow up to their acclaimed 2014 debut, on September 8th via Royal Mountain Records and Polyvinyl. Having previously shared this announcement alongside the release of their first single “In Undertow,” the band are back today with an official video for the track.
Directed by Joe Garrity, the video is described by frontwoman Molly Rankin as “aquacosmic psych meets public access TV.” She adds, “I’m aware of my own drowning fixation and fascination with that bizarre lunar-tidal relationship. We’ve already filled our water video quota. Space is a trippier ocean.”
Alvvays will be on the road for most of this fall in support of Antisocialites, featuring a four-night stint at Toronto’s Mod Club. Joining them to fulfill opening duties will be Polyvinyl labelmate Jay Som and Halifax indie rockers Nap Eyes. See below for a full list of upcoming tour dates after watching the trippy new visual for “In Undertow” above.
