Speedy Ortiz are sharing new single "The Graduates", the second offcut from upcoming LP Foil Deer.

This track follows lead single "Raising The Skate", and sees the bad opt for emotional pop-rock, twanged with buzzy fuzz, instead of their usual abrasive selves.

Speaking about the LP, lead singer Sadie Dupuis says: "I gave up wasting mental energy on people who didn't have my back... listening to our old records, I get the sense I was putting myself in horrible situations just to write sad songs. This music isn't coming from a dark place, and without slipping into self-empowerment jargon, it feels stronger."

Foil Deer is out 20 April on Carpark.
