Here's a band you probably haven't heard anything about for a while - The Besnard Lakes. Well, fear not any more, for we have a double whammy of news relating to that very band for you. Wonderful.
Firstly, they've got a new album coming out. It's called The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night and is out March 8 through Jagjaguwar. There's a track off that very album, a single, entitled 'Albatross', which will be properly released on February 8. Click here to download that track, or stream it underneath, by clicking 'play', as you do.
Apt album art is below:
