New England-based soul outfit Lake Street Dive served as the musical guest on Wednesday’s episode of syndicated talk show Ellen. LSD offered a remote performance of “Hypotheticals.”
“Hypotheticals” appears on the band’s recently released Obviously album. The LP takes its name from the first word in “Hypotheticals.”

The 11-track follow-up to 2018’s Free Yourself was produced by Mike Elizondo and arrived on March 12. “We’ve been a band for so long that we didn’t want to just become a feedback loop of our own ideas,” noted bassist Bridget Kearney. “It felt like a really good time to bring in another person like Mike [Elizondo], and he really opened us up. He encouraged us to make bolder arrangement choices, take those chances and try those things. The record really is a success in what we set out to do: continue to challenge ourselves, continue to grow and do things we’ve never done before.”
