…And what a beautiful affair it is. Recent polaris short-listers, and part of an ever growing roster of canucks we love,The Besnard Lakes aren’t exactly dark horses anymore. With the afformentioned nomination, the release of a new 12” on Jagjaguwar, a string of U.S. and Canadian tour dates, The Lakes are on track to have a good second-half of 2007.
The song in question, the a-side to the 12” single, entitled Casino Nanaimo is a most wonderful affair. This one is well fit for your drive to work: there are a lot of take off’s but only one landing, washed out walls of psych-laced vocals, twangy guitars, and a never ending wall of organ. Those Canadians love this sort of thing.
