The Besnard Lakes
…Are The Roaring Night
(Jagjaguwar, 2010)
More lobe-blasting rock action from Canuck marrieds and longhair combo.
It's a national disgrace that the heirs to Britain's peerless tradition of heavy headrock - its Floyds, Zeps, Sabs and beyond - are to be found on foreign shores, and stage three of this Montreal group's ecstatic voyage rubs salt in the wound. More muscular, less ethereal than 07's ...Are The Dark Horse, it is no less exciting, with that signature ocean-of-echo drenching mountainous guitars and the choral counterpoint of Jace Lasek and spouse Olga Goreas's siren vocals. Central is Albatross: like the My Bloody Valentine of Isn't Anything buffeted by horns (3.19 will blow your head off). Less fraught, Light Up The Night promises wider acclamation with its sturdy classic-rock chassis and log-chopping riffs while closer The Lonely Moon sees their ship in calmer waters, edging into the sunset like departing elves. I've been rocking this hard since mid-February and it's just been nominated for the Polaris Music Prize, which is like the Mercury Prize, except Canadian, and nicer, and not sponsored by a world-f**king credit company and they tell you who the jury are, and... and... and I hope it wins it.

It's also a disgrace that a record this good can be treated with a collective shrug of indifference from the mindless masses and practically every other music publication except for MOJO.
