Celebrating Joyful Rebellion: Lake Street Dive's "Good Together"

stayc main image

In a world often divided by strife and discord, Lake Street Dive emerges with their eighth studio album, "Good Together," a jubilant testament to the power of joy and unity in music. Scheduled for release on June 21st, marking the band’s 20th anniversary, this album promises to be a spirited journey through genres, emotions, and shared experiences.

Lake Street Dive is no stranger to blending genres like pop, soul, jazz, and folk into their distinctive sound. With "Good Together," they embrace "joyful rebellion," a philosophy that confronts contemporary issues with both energetic defiance and unwavering principles. According to drummer Mike Calabrese, the album seeks to remind listeners of the importance of joy amidst a landscape often dominated by anger and divisiveness. "Take your joy very seriously," he urges, encapsulating the album's ethos.

This album marks a significant evolution for the band, as it's the first time all five members collaborated right from the inception of the songs. Gathered in drummer Mike Calabrese’s Vermont home, the band members found a new creative synergy that expanded their musical palette and deepened their expressive range. Vocalist Rachel Price reflects on this experience, initially daunting but ultimately exhilarating, as they realized the magic of writing together in real-time.

Working once again with Grammy-winning producer Mike Elizondo (known for his work with Fiona Apple and Sheryl Crow), Lake Street Dive embarked on a creative journey that allowed them to blend their individual talents into a cohesive musical statement. This collaboration promises an album that not only resonates with their established fanbase but also invites new listeners into their vibrant world of sound.

Since their breakout album "Bad Self Portraits" in 2014, Lake Street Dive has consistently pushed the boundaries of their music. From "Side Pony" to "Free Yourself Up" and most recently "Obviously," each release has garnered critical acclaim and expanded their global reach. Their latest endeavor, "Good Together," builds on this legacy, promising to deliver funky, vibey bops that are perfect for the upcoming summer season.

Following the album's release, Lake Street Dive is set to embark on an extensive tour, bringing their infectious energy to cities across North America. This tour not only celebrates the new album but also reaffirms their status as a dynamic live band beloved by audiences worldwide.

"Good Together" by Lake Street Dive is more than just an album; it's a manifesto of resilience, joy, and musical innovation. As they celebrate two decades of creating music together, the band invites us all to join in their "joyful rebellion" and find solace in the power of music to bridge divides and uplift spirits. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to their music, get ready to groove to the beats of "Good Together" and embrace the contagious optimism that Lake Street Dive brings to the world.
