The Besnard Lakes

Montreal, QC

"…gushes and swirls of noise with wind that builds into this awesome wall of mush and fuzz Guitars, bass and quiet drums penetrate these walls of captivating noise providing a big fluffy cloud of hums, tones and delayed harmony…ambient to noise-pop to upbeat head bopping stuff…mellow organ keyboard lines that sound like they are coming from millions of light years away somewhere in the depths of outer space…" "never mind post-rock, this is ghost rock…" "…the first full colour gatefold LP on a Canadian independent release I have seen in a very long time (if ever). A truly beautiful release from nowhere." "…one of the city's best kept secrets…hip to all things my Bloody Valentine, Swervedriver, Brian Wilson ...the occasional nod to some angular post-punk." "...could easily be the soundtrack for a David Lynch movie…" "...should please those who like the tangential punchiness of early Eno…" "Epic indeed." (quotes: Earshot, FFWD, Eye Weekly, Mirror, musicemissions.com, Coast.)
