GOOD MUSIC MIX: lake street dive - you go down smooth / rich girl / use me up / dedicated to the one i love

lake street dive - you go down smooth
oh the rich voice of rachel price! throw in the tight band that is lake street dive and you have my new fave discovery of the week. i actually heard them live last weekend at the incredible 'another day another time/ inside llewyn davis' concert. and i just instantly fell in love with their infectious energy and crazy harmonies. though i love the fact that you can't really pinpoint the sound of this quartet, there is a nice timeless quality that permeates their music and well, it just makes me very happy to listen to them!

check out some extra performances of this wonderful band below:
