Side Pony, Lake Street Dive's fifth album, landed on Nonesuch on February 19, 2016, a follow-up to Bad Self Portraits from the band that started at Boston's New England Conservatory of Music and settled in Brooklyn. Dave Cobb produced it, and the founding four were all aboard: singer Rachael Price, Bridget Kearney on double bass, Mike Calabrese on drums and Mike "McDuck" Olson on guitar, keyboards and trumpet.
It's retro-soul pop with a conservatory pedigree and zero stuffiness, drawing hard on '60s soul and R&B and slipping in a few shimmering dance tracks without a trace of twang. Price's voice is the headline, a warm, brassy instrument that can purr or belt, and "Call Off Your Dogs" struts while "Mistakes" slows into a smoky, rueful sway. It opened at number one on Billboard's rock, folk and alternative album charts and at number 29 on the Billboard 200, selling 16,000 copies in its first week.
