LAKE

LAKE is something of a local supergroup. All of its many members are solo artists or participants in other area acts, making the collective something of a part-time gig. Nevertheless, LAKE has a full-time wondrousness and enough talent to fill several bands (which, duh, makes perfect sense). Their music is chock-full of Northwest-y sonic hallmarks, from nimble guitars, graceful harmonies, occasional electronic flourishes and dubby bass thumps, to a pervasive sense of woodsy whimsy - everything sounds ideally suited for a rainy day spent indoors at homey café. This particular brand of straightforward, catchy indie seems to have fallen (just a little) by the pop culture wayside, a sad fact that in no way takes away from LAKE's overwhelming aptitude, or their capacity for producing indelible, earworm-y hooks.
