The Chicago based band return with another new single, and they’re back to shimmering with big pop hooks and easy melodies. While no new album has been announced as of now, “Tootsie Pop” is a promising sign of anything that’s to come.

Their latest single trades the sharp energy of their past work for a more laconic feel as The Deals dig deep into slowcore textures. “Freeway” is a patient shoegaze song, slow dripped and sweetened by Joe Suihkonen and Margaret McCarthy’s gorgeous vocal harmonies.
