A version of the song was featured on their third album, Let's Build a Roof.[3] Another Adventure Time episode entitled "Shh!" , featured their song "No Wonder I."
On August 22, 2015 the band celebrated their 10 year anniversary playing all their albums from start to finish in a 12 hour marathon set at Bayview Hall, Whidbey Island Washington.
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."[1] These characteristics were also noted in their reviews by Pitchfork Media. Like many artists on K Records, their style is lo-fi.
