Lake Effect Kid is an extended play (EP) by American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on August 23, 2018, through Island and DCD2.

Background

On August 18, 2008, Fall Out Boy launched a Viral marketing campaign including the release of a mixtape, entitled Welcome to the New Administration to promote their then-forthcoming fourth studio album, Folie à Deux, released in December 2008.[3] The mixtape consisted of various demo recordings from numerous other musical groups, including a track titled "Lake Effect Kid (Demo)" by Fall Out Boy. In February 2013, the band played the track live for the first time, as part of a medley of a number of other album deep cuts. On July 5, 2018, the band's bass guitarist and lyricist Pete Wentz hinted that they may release an EP with the title Lake Effect Kid in 2018.[4][5] On August 22, the group mentioned it again, publishing a tweet confirming that the EP would be released on the same day, stating "Forever a lake effect kid. New EP dropping tonight at midnight ET to celebrate our biggest homecoming yet."[6] The "biggest homecoming yet" refers to Fall Out Boy's headlining concert at Wrigley Field, their first-ever stadium headlining gig, in their hometown of Chicago, Illinois.[7] The EP was released as planned, and consisted of a studio version of the song.[8]

Promotion

On the same day of the EP's release, Fall Out Boy premiered a music video for the song "City in a Garden".[9] The band explained the video as "a glimpse at all the madness throughout the years".
