ALEX LAHEY “LET’S GO OUT” ON VEVO DISCVR
ANNOUNCES EUROPEAN TOUR DATES
"B-GRADE UNIVERSITY EP" - PRE-ORDER 12” (digital out now)
“The sentiment is simple and familiar—and yet so is the wind that whips through your hair while racing down a
highway in the summer with friends, and who ever gets sick of that?” — Pitchfork, on “You Don’t Think You Like
People Like Me” [BEST NEW TRACK]
“Earlier this year, Melbourne’s Alex Lahey released her debut EP, ‘B-Grade University,’ which is the kind of
startlingly impressive debut that you just know is going to catch on…” — Brooklyn Vegan
“The fact she’s made something so vibrant and altogether fun out of a concept as straightforward as ‘being in your
early 20s and just figuring shit out’ speaks volumes about her ability to put her own thoroughly entertaining spin
on the ups and downs of the everyman.” — DIY Magazine

Grade University” is available for pre-order on 12” now or you can check it

Relationship problems. Post-graduation life choices. The troubles of early20s life. They’re millenials’ problems, sure, but weren’t they everyone’s at
one point? Few people can detail these worries quite like Alex Lahey, a 24 year old Melburnian (that’s
Melbourne, Australia) who’s EP “B-Grade University” is out now on Dead Oceans. Having already garnered
a Best New Track from Pitchfork for her debut single, “You Don’t Think You Like People Like Me”, Lahey’s
fuzzed-out, catchy-as-hell indie rock is stacked with emotion, weighing the sound of youthful anxiety against
cutting, sophisticated wordplay.
Alex Lahey originally released “B-Grade University” on her own label in summer 2016, shortly before playing
iconic Australian festival Splendour in the Grass. Lead track, “Ivy League,” pretty much wrote itself: “I went
and studied sax at uni for a few years and just fucking hated it” she told DIY magazine last November. Lahey
dropped out to concentrate all her efforts on the songwriting that she cared most about. That cliffjump proved
a great decision: “B-Grade University” immediately went onto heavy rotation on Triple J, with the single "You
Don't Think You Like People Like Me”. Lahey closed 2016 being the most played artist on Triple J Unearthed,
as well as being voted Best Female Artist at the Age Music Awards.
Even if your woes are not the same, Lahey's themes demand you to sing along, close your eyes and punch your
fist in the air. Underneath the millennial angst, there’s an aura of positivity, universality, good times and looking
towards the future that we all need right now.
