Flake Michigan is a self-described, five-person, “Midwest Indie Saxy band from Chicago.”

I’m joined by Sergio, Laura, and Dave just days before “Flaketoberfest” at Chop Shop (July 10), where they’ll celebrate the one-year anniversary of their “Ottawa” album.

We talk about how Flake Michigan started, their hyperlocal approach to songs, their collaboration with Car Con Carne favorite Soothsayer Hot Sauce, and their hard-to-pin-down-sound. The interview is capped with an absolutely stunning in-car performance of their song, “Aurora” (as heard on “Ottawa”).
