Lake Street Dive will release their second album with Nonesuch Records, Free Yourself Up, on May 4th. Coupled with their announcement of the upcoming album, the band comprised of drummer Michael Calabrese, bassist Bridget Kearney, singer Rachael Price, and guitarist/trumpeter Michael “McDuck” Olson also shared a performance video of a song from the new album, “Good Kisser”, and a number of new tour dates spanning from May to October.

Lake Street Dive’s Free Yourself Up was self-produced at Nashville’s Goosehead Palace Studios with Dan Knobler. As explained in a press release, “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.”

“This album is based in the realities in our time,” Kearney reflects, “which have inevitably become part of everyone’s daily life. It’s something you think about and obsess over — and write songs about. Free Yourself Up is about empowering yourself, emboldening yourself, no matter what’s going wrong.”

In support of Free Yourself Up, Lake Street Dive will embark on an extensive cross-country tour, which will also contain stops in Canada and London. To get fans excited about the new album, every ticket purchased online for headlining shows will include a CD of the new album. For those who can’t wait, Free Yourself Up is available for pre-order now at iTunes, lakestreetdive.com, and nonesuch.com (those who pre-order from the Nonesuch Store will also receive an exclusive print autographed by the band).

To give fans a taste of this new effort, the band also dropped a performance video for the first single off Free Yourself Up, “Good Kisser”. Take a listen, check out the album’s tracklisting, and peep Lake Street Dive’s upcoming tour dates below.
