Radiohead took a weird turn after OK Computer. Instead of jettisoning into the atmosphere of rock gods, they pulled back and decided to make music that they could enjoy, which meant alienating a section of their audience. They continued this trend, making their music more and more specific, until they'd shrunk their fan base down to only the most dedicated few. Lake Island sound like what might've happened if Radiohead, instead of dissolving into a melancholy band of ones and twos, turned their proclivities outward. Lake Island's sound is reminiscent of Radiohead, but their warmth is radiant. Even as they drift away from rock into ambience, there's always a tactile gentility to their music, which goes a long way toward shunning the cool distance that tends to marry with these ambient textures.

LAKE ISLAND, 10 p.m., Le Voyeur, 404 E. Fourth Ave., Olympia, no cover, 360.943.5710
