New LP from The Besnard LakesThe Besnard Lakes are the creators of one of my favorite albums of 2007, ...Are The Dark Horse. I've been patiently waiting for a follow-up, but seem to have missed the press-release of this fantastic bit of news. On March 9, 2010, the band will be releasing their second full-length album ...Are the Roaring Night via Jagjaguwar. The first single off the album, "Albatross" drops next Tuesday (Febrary 9). Jagjaguwar plans on releasing the song on 12" b/w "Four Long Lines", which doesn't appear on the LP. To download the track, visit here, or just listen to it at the end of this post. According to their label:
The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night was recorded at Lasek's Breakglass Studios with a vintage 1968 Neve germanium mixing console used to record portions of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night is a dark bliss-out that folds the eerie guitar epics of the band's breakthrough, The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, into a wall of affected drones and atmospherics. The toughened immediacy and grit that gives the form a much-needed shove over the cliffs makes for a haunting, provocative swan dive into the crushing tide.
The band seems to have been very busy lately, reportedly contributing to a song which will appear on Adam Franklin's (Swervedriver, Toshack Highway) solo album (to be released in 2010), as well as scoring the music for a 2010 Sundance Film directed by Mark Ruffalo!
