Following this success, From Indian Lakes signed with Triple Crown Records and released their third album, “Absent Sounds,” on October 7, 2014. This album entered the Billboard 200 and reached impressive chart positions, including number 8 on the Top Heatseekers chart.
In 2016, the band released their fourth album, “Everything Feels Better Now,” which was met with critical praise and featured in prominent music publications. The album showcased their evolving sound and included a compilation of demos titled “EFBN Tapes,” with proceeds donated to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Their fifth album, “Dimly Lit,” was self-released in 2019, featuring collaborations with various guest vocalists, further demonstrating their artistic growth.
