Sound: Mainstream-minded rock/pop with labyrinths of echoing and cascading guitars, polished harmonies and strong soaring melodies that can venture into impressive falsetto.
Note: The band was just added to the lineup at this year’s Lollapalooza, which will take place August 3-5 at Chicago’s Grant Park.
Heavy Rotation tracks: none
Medium Rotation tracks: “Anhedonia”; “Better Company”; “Doppleganger”
Recommended: If you like radio-ready hum-alongs, The Graduate are tight, accomplished musicians with plenty of those. They’re at their best, though, when they tone down their poppier side and reveal their harder, darker and dynamic edge.
Grade: B
