The Besnard Lakes: THE BESNARD LAKES am 11. April 2010 im Magnet Club, Berlin

The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night was tracked and recorded on Breakglass Studio's latest acquisition, a 1968 Neve germanium mixing console rumored to have been used to record portions of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti. The album also introduces some new instrumentation for the band: 12 string guitar, flute, omnichord and mellotron. With the aid of Besnard members Kevin Laing on drums and Richard White on guitar, The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night is a dense, ambitious recording, experimenting, as always, with the studio as instrument.

The album is a dark bliss-out that folds the eerie guitar epics of the Montreal band's breakthrough into a wall of affected drones and atmospherics, but with a toughened immediacy and grit that gives the form a much-needed shove over the cliffs, making for a haunting, provocative swan dive into the crushing tide.
