Sort of forgotten, vol. 1

Remember The Besnard Lakes?

Chances are you don't, or if you do, you can't quite remember what they sounded like or why you know them. Well, now is the time to get back into them. While they still seem to be nowhere to be found as far as touring goes (minus one Coachella day last year), their albums are still amazing and some of my favorites to listen to.

The Besnard Lakes are a band from Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Originally started by a husband and wife team, they now have about six members.
Note: The name comes form Besnard Lake, a lake in Saskatchewan. It's so obscure there's not even a wikipedia article about it.

Today, I give you their EP "The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse." Every song on this album is pleasing to my ears and beautiful in a unique way. Imagine if the Beach Boys collided with a portion of Broken Social Scene. Listening to the work all the way through in one sitting is an experience.

Good for working on art projects, getting high with friends, biking in the countryside, riding the bus to work, or a laid back party of only your closest friends.
