Ah, the first listen. A wealth of opportunity lies within that initial response we all know and love so much. And the Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night is a record, despite it’s ridiculous title, with no expectation for me. This being their second LP, I am catching on at the right time. This is a big, beautiful album. It swirls and spits over male and female vocalists and a wealth of noise. Pianos, guitars and high-pitched falsettos abound.
Since I am listening a second time as I write this, I’m quite sure there will be a second review. Since they employ members of Godspeed! You Black Emperor, The Dears, Stars, and A Silver Mt. Zion, I’m pretty sure I understand that this is a Canadian All-Star band. Since I love this the second time around too, I’m pretty sure this is going to be a kick-ass reviewing process. Since the album comes out in early March, you can expect the review pretty soon. And, finally, since I have bored you with this “since” format, I’ll let the old songs speak for themselves. Hope you enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed this new jam.
