The band says, “’KEEP IT COOL’ is an unreleased track we pulled from the DE+TGL vault. It didn’t quite fit on the album, but we had so much fun making this one we didn’t want to just let it sit on a hard drive collecting dust. The track explores the tension between desire and composure- someone looking to find that balance of vulnerability and bravado.”

If you are not dancing by the end of “KEEP IT COOL” from Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes, you may need to seek medical attention. The energy on “KEEP IT COOL” is off the charts.

In support of the deluxe album the band is doing a release show at Healing Force Of The Universe in Los Angeles, CA on June 28^th.  Strange days have found us. For indie rock trio, Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes, they know that all too well. Formed in Nashville but now peppered across the country, connected by satellite, fibers, and vibes, the band is known for their high-energy live performances, introspective lyrics, and a touch of something familiar that you can’t quite pin down every time you hear it. 

HIGH(er) LIFE – the deluxe version of their 2024 album HIGH LIFE, featuring the unreleased track “Keep It Cool”, a reimagined piano and strings version of “After All,” and a remix of “High Life” by artist/producer Kyle Andrews. This expanded release offers a fresh perspective on the album’s bold, hook-filled spirit – an album Spectrum Culture called “…23 minutes of densely layered… highly danceable indie rock, with plenty of hooks. Almost every track sounds like it could be a hit.” HIGH(er) LIFE is an existential journey about change, resistance, love, regret, and recognition of our shared humanity.

Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes, are a musical experience that you simply can’t miss.
