To coincide with the release of Free Yourself Up and the launch of the tour, Lake Street Dive has released the official music video for the album track "Good Kisser," directed by Bianca Giaever, in which people of all ages and walks of life spread the news of the protagonist’s stellar kissing abilities. “Good Kisser” has held rank in the Top 5 at Americana radio for over a month and is currently Top 20 and climbing at AAA radio.

New York City member-supported radio station WFUV named Free Yourself Up its New Dig, aka Album of the Week. On the album, the band "strives to empower and liberate in an age of turmoil," says FUV. "It’s a confident collection of songs that reflects the quartet’s nearly decade-and-a-half of music making."

To Lake Street Dive, the title, Free Yourself Up, is both an exhortation to listeners and a statement of purpose for the band. In many ways, this is the band's most intimate and collaborative record, with the band working as a tightly knit unit to craft its ten songs. For this album, the quartet drafted touring keyboardist Akie Bermiss to join them in the studio as well as on stage. Adding another player to the process freed up the the band members to explore a wider range of instrumental textures, construct more full-bodied arrangements, and build on their well-known background harmonies.

Free Yourself Up is the follow up to the band's Nonesuch Records debut, Side Pony. The band toured eighteen months for that album, including a sold-out headlining show at Radio City Music Hall. Side Pony was lauded in the press, with Rolling Stone calling it "irresistible," and the Boston Globe saying, "Side Pony is a confident, expertly played statement from a band that's been honing its approach for more than a decade, and it clearly shows that Lake Street Dive is ready to make itself known to whatever audiences have yet to succumb to its many charms."

"This album is based in the realities in our time,' Kearney reflects," which have inevitably become part of everyone's daily life. It's something you think about and obsess over—and write songs about. Free Yourself Up is about empowering yourself, emboldening yourself, no matter what's going wrong."
