The Lake EffectsIndie pop sensibilities with brass band capabilities. Corn-fed. Not ska!Ioway, released 21 January 20171. Banding Together2. (For) Bird3. Happy's Pizza4. Late June Riot5. Jimmy6. The Listeners7. Ioway8. Serendipity9. BroadwayIoway is the Lake Effects' first full-length album, following their 2015 EP, My Friends All Left Me. The nine track, 35 minute album dashes through a variety of feels and styles, but maintains the Lake Effects’ signature characteristic—though the music is dark at times, a wry sense of humor and optimism infiltrate its entirety. The album features nearly a dozen instruments between the four members—traditional indie-rock instrumentation (guitar, piano, organ, synthesizers, drums, and layers of vocals) is joined by trumpet, trombone, sousaphone, and a variety of toy percussion instruments.Ioway draws on the members’ experiences as Midwesterners, obviously including the twins’ childhood in Iowa. Many songs dwell on the common imagery of Michigan winters and the outdoors, while others are more blatantly comical, begging for a slot on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (“Jimmy”) or lambasting the average American’s lifestyle (“Broadway”).
