biography

LAKE are one of several cerebral, scribbly sweet indie pop bands -- such as No Kids (Vancouver, BC) and the Blow (Portland, OR) -- to call the Pacific Northwest their home. The group formed in Olympia, WA in 2005 and are comprised of an ever-shifting cast of bandmembers, with Ashley Eriksson, Eli Moore, Lindsay Schief, Andrew Dorsett, and Markly Morrison serving as the band's foundation. In the first few years of their existence, the band released a split 7" with Typhoon (LAKE/Typhoon, via Boy Gorilla Records), a cassette tape (via Brown Interior Music), a vinyl LP (Tape, via Funkytonk Records), and a self-titled full-length album; that last release was recorded by Karl Blau and released as part of his Kelp Lunacy project. LAKE's second full-length album, Oh, The Places We'll Go, was released on K Records in the fall of 2008. ~ Margaret Reges, All Music Guide
