LAKE is a group of cloudy individuals brought together through lines drawn along Interstate-5, intersecting in Olympia on or around 2005. Since forming, they have both gained and lost members, recorded 12 full length albums (only three of which have seen proper release), played across the world supporting such talented acts as Adrian Orange and Her Band, Half Handed Cloud, Laura Veirs, and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. The sounds they craft are straight from the playbook of the good parts of Billy Joel, Fleetwood Mac, and Turkish psychedelic music.

LAKE crafts up-beat, dance-able, psychedelic, uniquely sincere and unaffected pop songs. Their third album Oh, the Places We’ll Go was recorded at home, largely on cassette 8-track, and has a slightly lo-fi, homemade feel that also shows evidence of their influence from prolific artists Karl Blau and R. Stevie Moore. Oh, the Places We’ll Go represents a new direction for LAKE – more synthesizers, more up-beat, rhythmically-based songwriting – but it is also in keeping with their aesthetic, with contributing horn players and percussionists, male and female singers, group harmonies, sweet melodies and homespun production.

Caressing the Rhodes piano, endearing drum fills, guitars that don’t sound like guitars, and some slamming bass lines: Listening to LAKE is like pouring sugar in your ears. They'll turn your brain into chocolate, 67% cacao.

Also catch their show at The Lab later that night!
