Obviously (album)

Obviously is the seventh studio album by American band Lake Street Dive.

[1][2] This was the group's first album to feature keyboard player Akie Bermiss as a full band member, as well as the last album to feature founding member and lead guitarist Mike "McDuck" Olson.

Obviously was recorded and completed before the COVID-19 pandemic with an intended release date in the fall of 2020 before being postponed.

The album's songs address topics such as climate change, womanhood, female empowerment, and failed relationships.
