“Perhaps we started writing this album with a sense of escapism,” posits Alyssa Graham of musical duo THE GRAHAMS. “We said, 'f**k the genre labels people want to put on us.' We never felt they fit us anyway.” In one way or another, every release by the lifelong musical and romantic partners, Alyssa and Doug Graham, began with an escape or adventure that expanded their musical boundaries. This third record, Kids Like Us (Out September 20, 2019 via 3Sirens Music GroupRED MUSICThe Orchard), is no exception, exploring balmy and graceful dream pop, 50's mod influenced garage-rock energy, 60's and 70's style groovy guitars, and an explosive Morricone-esque cinematic intrigue. “We wanted to just let go and explore, and it made all the difference,” adds her husband, Doug Graham. “For the first time, there was no self-doubt, no self-loathing – just gratitude, bliss, and a complete sense of satisfaction in the process and the results.”
