History
Formed in 2005, in Olympia, Washington, they are best known for composing the end song to the Cartoon Network show Adventure Time, titled "Christmas Island" or "The Island Song" (written by Ashley Eriksson). A version of the song was featured on their fourth album, Let's Build a Roof.[3] Other Adventure Time episodes featured their songs "No Wonder I," "I Look Up To You," and "Greatly Appreciated."
On August 22, 2015, the band celebrated their 10-year anniversary by playing all their albums from start to finish in a 12-hour marathon set at Bayview Hall, Whidbey Island, Washington.
Their eleventh and most recent album, Bucolic Gone, was released on March 7, 2025.

Musical style
Lake features male and female vocals backed by guitars, keyboards and occasionally horns. AllMusic referred to Lake as being "one of several brainy and sweet indie pop bands... to call the Pacific Northwest their home."[2] These characteristics were also noted in their reviews by Pitchfork Media. Like many artists on K Records, their style is lo-fi.
