The Besnard Lakes

these tracks culled from the magisterial ‘A Coliseum Complex Museum’ showcase a more experimental and playful side of the besnard lake’s tremendously powerful songwriting.

‘Laura Lee’ is a sibling track to the album’s illustrious first single, ‘The Golden Lion’ - spacious reverb-y drums echo around an almost sci-fi vocal line sung by Olga Goreas. Meanwhile, the title track ‘The Divine Wind’ is The Besnard Lakes at their expansive, psychedelic best: a sustained keyboard building through to a bombastic coda, complete with Lasek’s unmistakable falsetto. If one ever needed a reminder of just how unique, beautiful and far-reaching this band are, ‘The Besnard Lakes Are The Divine Wind’ delivers.
