Throughout the course of their 12-year existence, Lake Trout has consistently defied genres within the music industry. The Baltimore five-piece has displayed a unique, multi-dimensional blend of rock, creating ambient soundscapes over ferocious rhythms that channel psychedelia, industrial and modern indie rock.
To fully grasp the ingenuity of this band you must see them live. Alchemists of mood and emotion, Lake Trout push the limits of both intensity and volume. According to The Village Voice, “the Baltimore collective are stunningly ferocious space-sculptors capable of realigning your polarities.” The Tripwire says “Watching them was like chewing on an extremely tasty piece of gum whose flavor regenerates itself in spurts and waves at random intervals.”
The band is absolutely confident on stage, and as the result of their widely heralded live performances, they’ve earned a diverse audience of loyalists. Lake Trout continues to attract a wide range of indie rockers, head bangers, math geeks and improv-junkies.
Lake Trout has finally acquiesced to fan demands for a proper live album with the release of “Lake Trout” The album includes live versions of songs from previous releases as well as songs that have only been performed live, but never officially recorded. Best of all, Lake Trout will be giving away their live album as a FREE download via a new method of distribution called The Biggest Label Ever.
In past years, Lake Trout has toured with The Flaming Lips, Editors and the Pixies to name a few. Their influence in the music community has resonated within many genres, specifically inspiring songs like The Dismemberment Plan’s “Change” and The Flaming Lips “Pompeii.” Three members of the band are also now touring and writing partners with the platinum-selling British group, UNKLE.
