The second album from Alvvays, Antisocialites, is set for release on September 8th via Royal Mountain/Transgressive Records. After releasing the lead-single “In Undertow” last month, the band has dropped the second single “in Dreams Tonite”. “So morose for me, seeing ghosts of me, writing oaths to me,” sings Molly Rankin on the Cocteau-pop inspired- the song from which the album’s name is derived. “In fluorescent light, antisocialites watch a wilting flower.”

To write Antisocialites, Rankin traveled to Toronto Island, working in an abandoned schoolroom by day and sleeping a few feet from shore at night. “I carried a small PA on the ferry in a wheelbarrow,” she recalls. “Every morning I would listen to my favourite records on the beach, then I’d write melodies and record demos in the classroom.”

Alvvays have announced a UK and Europe tour, as well as North American dates. T
