Besnard Lakes "The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night"

The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night is the third full length from this Canadian group led by husband/wife duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas (Jace takes production credits). BL's last record, The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, was my #12 favorite album of 2007 and so far this one is looking like it could make my top 20 this year. BL stick with elements that work for them well: layered, crunchy guitar tracking, slow builds + release and lots of vocal harmonizing.

Take a listen to first single "Albatross" here and take it easy on the tremolo bar.
