Good luck trying to pigeonhole Lake Trout. As intent as the music press is to affix labels, this band’s music truly resists categorization. On the band’s new Rx/Palm label debut, Another One Lost, this accomplished songwriting fivesome mine wholly uncharted terrain.

The album’s rock experimentalism will quite naturally elicit comparisons to The Talking Heads, The Pixies, Pink Floyd, and Sonic Youth. But the live drums somehow manage to evoke both John Bonham’s thunder and Aphex Twin’s drum machine. Elsewhere moody atmospherics will recall Amon Tobin, Kool Keith, and DJ shadow. While the groups sonic explorations bring to mind Steve Reich and Brian Eno.

Another One Lost is a reflection on the group’s far-flung influences, collaborative creative process, and their determination to break-down artificially-imposed genre boundaries.
