Massachussetts' rock 'fit Speedy Ortiz has shared the second single off their forthcoming sophomore album, Foil Deer. Like the first—"Raising The Skate"—"The Graduates" is all warm and fuzzy guitar, self-loathing, and Sadie Dupis' piercing eloquence. I was the best at being second place, now I'm just the runner up and only the second one you think of everyday, she sings as the song fades out. Foil Deer arrives April 21 via Carpark.
