‘Cause when the gods decide
It’s about damn time
We’re gonna pop champagne…by the lakeside
So goes the refrain from Katie Day’s “By the Lakeside,” a song inspired by her love of the Cubs. Her music has been described as “dreamy indie pop” and her debut solo EP, Burn it to the Ground (written, co-produced, and performed almost exclusively by Day), is “a story of dream maintenance, of a refusal to fold. The general vibe of Burn It is one of lightheartedness, an ethereal ode to the passion and ideals of youth, a laugh in the face of a harsh and unforgiving adult world.
