{"product_id":"lake-street-dive-bad-self-portraits","title":"Lake Street Dive - Bad Self Portraits","description":"\u003cp\u003eBad Self Portraits is the album that carried Lake Street Dive from Boston club favourites to a national audience, and this remastered reissue puts it back on vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe band formed at the New England Conservatory in Boston, four conservatory-trained musicians who found common ground in classic soul, sixties pop and rootsy harmony. A homemade video of them covering the Jackson 5 went viral in 2012, and by the time this record arrived in 2014, a huge new audience was waiting to hear what they could do with their own songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answer was plenty. Rachael Price's voice is the headline, rich and agile enough to go from a purr to a full-throated belt in a single line, but the band around her is just as sharp. The title track Bad Self Portraits sets a wry tale of loneliness to a breezy, Motown-flavoured groove. You Go Down Smooth swings with Bridget Kearney's walking upright bass, Stop Your Crying struts with brassy confidence, and Seventeen is a bittersweet look back at adolescent longing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is smart and endlessly hummable, the work of a band that knows its history and writes with a wink. For fans of retro soul with a modern pen, this belongs on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57327166587185,"sku":"701237706726","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Lake_Street_Dive-Bad_Self_Portraits.jpg?v=1793877279","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/lake-street-dive-bad-self-portraits","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
