music industry. The Baltimore five-piece has displayed a unique, multi-dimensional blend of rock,
creating ambient soundscapes over ferocious rhythms that channel psychedelia, industrial and modern
indie rock.
Reinventing their sound from record-to-record has been the calling card of this group of diversely
influenced musicians. Lake Trout's most recent album, Not Them, You, is their second record for Palm
Pictures. The album, produced by Tony Doogan (Mogwai, the Delgados) and Dave Fridmann (The
Flaming Lips, Mercury Rev), has garnered phenomenal reviews. Both London's Guardian and Urb
gave the CD 4 out of 5 stars, and Big Cheese called the album "near flawless." The album is start-to-
finish, a masterpiece of emotion and depth.
To fully grasp the ingenuity of this band you must see them live. Alchemists of mood and emotion,
Lake Trout push the limits of both intensity and volume. According to The Village Voice, "the Baltimore
collective are stunningly ferocious space-sculptors capable of realigning your polarities." The Tripwire
says "Watching them was like chewing on an extremely tasty piece of gum whose flavor regenerates
itself in spurts and waves at random intervals."
The band is absolutely confident on stage, and as the result of their widely heralded live performances,
they've earned a diverse audience of loyalists. Lake Trout continues to attract a wide range of indie
rockers, head bangers, math geeks and improv-junkies.
This winter, the band is releasing its first official live album. The album includes live versions of songs
from previous releases as well as songs that have only been performed live, but never officially
recorded. Best of all, Lake Trout will be giving away their live album as a FREE download via a new
method of distribution called The Biggest Label Ever.
theBiggestlabelever.com is a record label centered around a website containing free music all
supported by advertising. Lake Trout's live album will be the first release from the label, although the
site doesn't officially launch till later in 2009.
In past years, Lake Trout has toured with The Flaming Lips, Editors and the Pixies to name a few.
Their influence in the music community has resonated within many genres, specifically inspiring songs
like The Dismemberment Plan's "Change" and The Flaming Lips "Pompeii." Three members of the
band are also now touring and writing partners of the platinum-selling British group, UNKLE.
Another Day
Lake Trout Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know it’s over , I can’t get out from under , your love consumes me , now I feel like you’ve used me up.
The lyrics to Lake Trout's song "Another Day" depict a struggle with something that is weighing the singer down, represented by the metaphor of a stone in his shoe. He acknowledges that it's getting worse over time, but for now, it's not enough of a problem for him to make a change. The lyrics also suggest that there is an issue involving a woman who is trying to hide something, but the singer is unsure what it is. The feeling of being consumed by someone's love is also present, but there is a sense of being used up and unable to break free.
The theme of struggling with something that is slowly growing into a larger problem is a universal experience that many people can relate to. In this case, the stone in the shoe could represent anything from a personal issue to a toxic relationship. The mention of a woman hiding something also adds a layer of mystery and complexity to the lyrics. The line "too little for too long that's the problem" suggests that the singer has been ignoring an issue for too long, allowing it to grow into a bigger problem.
Overall, "Another Day" is a poignant and introspective song that delves into the struggles of everyday life and the difficulties of breaking free from something that has a hold on us.

I’ve got a stone in my shoe but I can’t stop I don’t know what it is but I know what it’s about
I have an issue that I can't ignore, even though I'm unsure of its exact nature, I understand its significance.
It gets bigger everyday but not too big for me to change my way That will come another day too little for too long that’s the problem never knowing the reason why she’s trying to hide them
My problem tends to grow with each passing day, but it hasn't gotten to the point where I need to change my ways yet. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for past mistakes – their small size ultimately built up over time, and I regret not understanding why she felt a need to conceal them.
I know it’s over , I can’t get out from under , your love consumes me , now I feel like you’ve used me up.
I've finally realized that our relationship is over, but I can't seem to distance myself from the memories. Our love was once all-encompassing, but now I'm left feeling like it's drained me dry.
