Label: Jagjaguwar
Genre: Pop
Comments: From the promoter:
"There is a war now. The message has been sent through short wave in code. The Besnard Lakes twisting chronicle, or fever dream, of spies, double agents, novelists and aspiring rock gods has turned violent. Loyalty, dishonor, love, hatred all see through the eyes of two spies, fighting a war that may not be real.... Once again, the husband-and-wife duo of Olga Goreas and Jace Lasek has crafted a majestic, spraling vision of guitar bambast and captivating pop experiments.
"The album is dark bliss-out that folds the eerie guitar epics of the Montreal band's breakthrough into a wall of affected drones and atmospherics, but with a toughened immediacy and a grit that gives the form a much-needed shove over the clifffs, making for a haunting, provacative swan dive into the crushing tide."
No idea what the spies have to do with this album of dark-ish big-wall of sound pop. Start with "Albatross."
