The Graduates
Track three of Foil Deer, issued as a single in 2015.
Speedy Ortiz, from Foil Deer (2015)
Our upload is labeled with the name of the debut album, but the song is on Foil Deer, the second album. It was a 2015 single, and DIY described its video on April 22, 2015: Dupuis in a medical lab developing pills resembling googly eyes, with karaoke, a giant fluffy rabbit and a cameo from Palehound. KEXP's Jacob Webb, picking it as Song of the Day on May 25, 2015, wrote that the lyrics centre on Dupuis falling for her now-boyfriend, and praised its fluid guitar melodies; the band recorded a KEXP session two days later.
Setlist.fm counts 129 plays, their third most-played song, and it opened their NPR Tiny Desk concert on August 31, 2023, representing Foil Deer. We found no covers or samples.
