The band described its new single and said: "'Don’t Think About It Too Much' is about overthinking things and how the more you do it, will more often than not end in you hitting a 'brick wall.'

"As humans we are all susceptible to this and sometimes it can be too easy to wind up in this headspace but being aware of overthinking and knowing how to deal with it early on is the most important thing. If not, it will always get the better of you and drive you crazy. This song is here to remind us all that it isn’t always as bad as it seems and to keep on pushing through."

The single is the first new material from the newly evolved duo who were previously a three-member band. The band's change, includes the absence of a guitar has led to a new sound.

The band described their new sound and said: "It's layers of heavy strings, driving bass and energetic, melodic songs that are bullied to the next intensity level by relentless, unrestrained drumming, topped off with immense vocals with a myriad of harmonies and two part vocals throughout."

LAKE ACACIA plays a distinct take on alt-rock, colliding super heavy riffs with electronic, synthy breakdowns.

The band has performed locally at The Wheatsheaf pub in George Street of the Banbury town centre, and Also Known As (AKA).
