2nd Grade will release their new LP Scheduled Explosions, on October 25th via Double Double Whammy. The album was home-recorded with friend and engineer Lucas Knapp. described as an odyssey of 60s-inspired dream logic driven by melody, charted through an environment of ambient violence and existential dread, and inspired by Robert Pollard, Alex Chilton, Lily Konigsberg, Chris Weisman, and Nate Amos.

I came up with the melody while I was biking around working in downtown Philly. Lyrically it ended up being an anthem about the joys of thinking for yourself, constructed entirely of cliches. That’s my sardonic reading, but I hope the song works too as just a pure optimistic expression of pop.
