American band founded in 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts

Claude says:Lake Street Dive's breezy soul-funk-pop landed hard in your world in summer 2019, particularly Free Yourself Up, which sounds like a band that learned to play together in a Boston basement and never lost that tight, groove-first sensibility. You cycled through their feel-good hooks a few times then moved on, but those tracks—"Baby Don't Leave Me Alone," "Good Kisser"—have the kind of effortless charm that sticks around.
