Few emo bands are more endearing than Chicago’s Dowsing. The group’s bouncy tunes will make you smile and cry at the same time, then they’ll refuse to leave your head for days on end. Their next release is a split with Ohio natives Annabel, and you can stream a new song from Dowsing’s side of the EP over at AV Club.

Vocalist Erik Czaja sounds more strained and passionate than ever before on “World’s Finest Chocolate (How Ya Doin’ Today),” and his melodic yell is complemented by backing vocals from Evan Weiss of Into It. Over It. The pairing sounds perfect over the midtempo drums and power pop guitar lines.

The split is available for pre-order on two vinyl colors from Count Your Lucky Stars Records. It will be officially released on May 27.
