A Dark Horse no longer, Montreal rockers the Besnard Lakes have a new album coming out on March 9 entitled The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night. The first single is called “Albatross,” and it sounds like it was made to be turned into a dramatic slow motion montage. Grey’s Anatomy, are you listening?
It’s five blissful minutes of dream pop harmonies, shoegaze fuzz and triumphant drums. And the exact same guitar tone as Modest Mouse’s “A Different City,” incidentally. The lyrics, when they’re discernible, are mostly made up of opaque but touching phrases like “You showed me so much.” It sounds like a love song until the final line of the song: “There goes my dad.”
