Alvvays have shared the final single from the album “After The Earthquake.” The song, which was inspired by Haruki Murakami’s After the Quake, comes complete with a Murder, She Wrote reference, and harkens back to the jangle pop influences of their self-titled debut. The band describes the song as “a rapid fire recital of drive-thru breakdown, tectonic breakup and boyfriend in a coma brake failure.”

It’s been 5 years since Alvvays released their last album Antisocialites and Blue Rev doesn’t simply reassert what’s always been great about the band but instead reimagines it. Blue Rev which is out on October 7 via Polyvinyl Records. Over the last few months the Toronto band have released singles “Easy On Your Own?,” “Pharmacist,” “Very Online Guy,” and “Belinda Says”
