Light Upon the Lake is the debut studio album from American rock band Whitney, released on June 3, 2016, via Secretly Canadian. This album marks the first outing for Max Kakacek and Julien Ehrlich since their previous band, Smith Westerns, disbanded. Ehrlich also previously drummed for Unknown Mortal Orchestra.

Written during a chilly Chicago winter and recorded in California’s San Fernando Valley, the album features production by Jonathan Rado of Foxygen, alongside the band themselves. The recording sessions were a bit unconventional, as the band camped out in tents in Rado’s Los Angeles backyard.
