Besnard Lakes are the dark horse

Yesterday Montreal six-piece The Besnard Lakes played in Amsterdam and enough sound walls were built to put up an entire city block. Their spun out space rock epics works even better live than on record. Almost everything from their acclaimed album Are The Dark Horse was played with And You Lied To Me as the astounding climax.



Are The Dark Horse may not be an easy album but if you give it a chance (it took me three plays) you will be rewarded for it, trust me.


Disaster is a perfect opener for the album

And You Lied To Me is their masterpiece and makes the guitar-solo cool again
