BESNARD LAKES - ALBATROSS B/W FOUR LONG LINES (LP)

The Besnard Lakes Albatross B/W Four Long Lines On Vinyl LP

A standout track and the first single from Montreal’s The Besnard Lakes’ upcoming LP, The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night, “Albatross” has all the swagger of a Stevie Nicks-led Fleetwood Mac classic or Roy Orbison re-imagined as a rollicking, snakeskin-booted Mazzy Star, dousing it all in gas and throwing the match as we hear its tale of Vancouver’s skid row and its inhabitants. On the flip we get “Four Long Lines,” a non-album cut that not so much exists within the dark grooves of the vinyl as it does float just above the stereo, embodying the extraterrestrial encounter the song cryptically details.
