Lake Street Dive Release New Album FREE YOURSELF UP
By: Tori Hartshorn May. 04, 2018
Lake Street Dive releases its new album Free Yourself Up on Nonesuch Records today, Friday, May 4, featuring the singles "Good Kisser" and "I Can Change". To celebrate release day, the band also shares the fun new music video for "Good Kisser", directed by Bianca Giaever, where people of all ages and walks of life spread the news of the protagonist's stellar kissing abilities. "Good Kisser" has held rank in the Top 5 at Americana radio for over a month and is currently Top 20 and climbing at AAA radio.
Free Yourself Up is available to purchase now at iTunes, lakestreetdive.com, and nonesuch.com, and to stream atApple Music and Spotify. The band's international tour also begins today with an intimate show at The Sinclair in Lake Street Dive's original hometown of Boston and continues with more than fifty additional performances, many of them already sold out. Tickets are on sale now atlakestreetdive.com. The band follows its appearance on last weekend's CBS This Morning -Saturdaywith a performance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday, May 7.
Free Yourself Up is Lake Street Dive's second album on Nonesuch Records. The four-member band-drummer Michael Calabrese, bassist Bridget Kearney, singer Rachael Price, and guitarist/trumpeter Michael "McDuck" Olson-produced the album themselves at Goosehead Palace Studios in Nashville with engineer Dan Knobler.
To Lake Street Dive, the title, Free Yourself Up, is both an exhortation to listeners and a statement of the band's purpose. In many ways, it is their most intimate and collaborative record, with the band working as a tightly knit unit to craft its ten songs. For this album, the quartet drafted touring keyboardist Akie Bermiss to join them in the studio as well as on stage. Adding another player to the process freed up the band members to explore a wider range of instrumental textures, construct more full-bodied arrangements, and build on their well-known background harmonies.
