It took Lake Street Dive's casually made video featuring the band gathered around a single mic, performing a cover of Jackson 5's 'I Want You Back', shot on a Brighton, Massachusetts street corner to grab the public's attention - their YouTube views are now hurtling past a million.
Their new album, Bad Self Portraits, is a microcosm of Lake Street Dive's evolution of the band from a weird alt-country jazz group to a pop-soul juggernaut, that includes 60s influences like Brill Building girl groups, British Invasion rock, horn-driven Stax R&B, Motown soul and even the Band-like gospel blues.
