Song Review
The droning guitars, the The Beach Boys-channeling harmonies, Olga Goreas vocal delivery, and the build to a wall of sound that would make My Bloody Valentine proud, all come together in stunning fashion for The Besnard Lakes. Albatross can be found on the bands forthcoming 2010 album The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night, scheduled for released on the 9th of March. The song itself can be had in 12″ vinyl format through the band’s label Jagjaguwar here, and will feature the non-album track Four Long Lines as a B-side; the single is available now for pre-order and will be officially released on the 9th of February. The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night marks the ensembles 3rd full-length release to date, and first since the 2007 LP The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse; a song we have posted from the latter album can be found below.
The Besnard Lakes -- For Agent 13
? turn on a dime
In the sultry west-coast night
?
Amongst the hopeful and the drunk
You showed me so much
You showed me so much
Took us to the new house, speeding along
In a green machine
Riding the wake of another
Once a week
You showed me so much
Oh you showed me so much
Those days are now long gone
Wish I had your picture
Never been able to be true
So I wanted, I wanted
I wanted to help you
I wanted to
And I wanted to help you
And I have to admit
Things got weird for a bit
And I scream for you
There goes my man
