Description:
The second album from this Montreal group is shaping up to be one of the leading contenders for album of the year. Rich with Beach Boys style harmonies, Roy Orbison reverbs and orchestra, Pink Floyd's pacing and Freddy Mercury's falsetto, The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse is a luxurious foray into sound and music.
The Besnard Lakes have shown that they are masters of finely-honed experimental pop songs that invoke the eerie Lynchian setting as aided and abetted by the music of Julee Cruise. But, on The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse, the band throws into the mix a mad dash of Fleetwood Mac proportioned swagger and ambition.
Not so incidentally, the Besnard Lakes have created a masterpiece that will resonate within all quarters, amongst critics, casual and not-so-casual rock listeners, garden variety pop fans and headphone junkies. UNCUT gave the album 4 1/2 stars and said "an amazing album" while Drowned In sound gave it 9/10 saying "utterly captivating". Pitchfork recommended the album and said "on this album they have turned into a great band".
