Four

With their new album 'FOUR', LAKE makes an impressive return, exactly 50 years after their debut. Few German rock bands can look back on such an international history: founded in the early 1970s between Husum and Hamburg, LAKE quickly developed a sound that was considered exceptional in Germany. Their Westcoast rock, characterized by layered arrangements, multi-part vocal harmonies, and stylistic elegance, drew more from American influences than from the contemporary German rock scene. The 2026 lineup with Rob Reynolds (Lead & Background Vocals), Ian Cussick (Lead & Background Vocals), Alex Conti (Guitars & Background Vocals), Martin Tiefensee (Bass), Geoffrey Peacey (Organ, Clavinet, Keyboards & Background Vocals), and Detlef Petersen (Piano, Wurlitzer, Accordion, Keyboards & Background Vocals) combines groove-oriented uptempo tracks with heartfelt ballads on 'FOUR' . LAKE blends complex harmonies with direct rock energy, showing themselves as a band that remains stylistically versatile without losing their identity. Rather than a nostalgic look back, 'FOUR' presents a clear, contemporary statement. For the drum recordings, LAKE enlisted top-tier support: Kenny Aronoff, one of the most renowned drummers in rock history, recorded the drums in Los Angeles. The album was recorded at the Westwind Studio in Husum, mixed and mastered by Josh Tyrrell in London. 'FOUR' will be released on 05.06.2026 and is available in multiple formats: the standard CD and vinyl edition contain 10 tracks, while the deluxe CD additionally offers 10 previously unreleased demos and live recordings. An album for everyone who appreciates classic Westcoast rock with contemporary production '“ and for everyone who wants to experience how a band can remain creatively relevant even after five decades.
