Chicago emo group Dowsing’s last album was 2019’s Sky Coffin, which was followed by a collection of demos and rarities from their 2016 debut Okay in 2021. Now, the band is returning with the announcement of their fifth studio album No One Said This Would Be Easy. The lead single “It Was Easy” is out today.

“Personally, this might be the closest Dowsing release to bridge the gap between ‘early’ Dowsing and ‘current’ Dowsing,” Erik “Rik” Czaja told The Alternative. “I think that particularly rings true in the song ‘It Was Easy’ and that’s why it’s the first single.”

Listen to “It Was Easy” below.

TOUR DATES:
10/27 – New Orleans, LA @ Courtyard Brewery
10/29 – Gainesville, FL @ The FEST

No One Said This Would Be Easy is out 12/1 on Storm Chasers LTD and Asian Man Records.
