The Besnard Lakes – The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night on Spotify
Music | 20th April 2010 | Paul Brown
The Besnard Lakes are led by Canadian husband and wife Olga Goreas and Jace Lasek, and The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night is their third album.
The obvious reference point for their soaring indie rock is Arcade Fire, but comparisons have also been made to Broken Social Scene, Band of Horses, The Dears, Stars, Love and even ELO. But the band also owe a debt to shoegazing genre of the early 90s that spawned bands like Ride, Chapterhouse and Slowdive.
The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night has been attracting some rave reviews, currently earning it a place in the Any Decent Music? top ten. It’s had 9/10 ratings from the likes of NME and The Fly. NME called it ‘nothing short of beautiful’. Give it a spin on Spotify and see if you agree.
