Besnard Lakes - Besnard Lakes Are The Last Of The Great (Vinyl)

The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is a double LP that tells the tale of death, darkness, and light through an epic 72-minute suite.

This masterpiece honors the essence of punk rock by rejecting compromise and creating a continuous long-form track that can be listened to as one.

The album is overflowing with melody and harmony, drone and dazzle, showcasing the unique weather of the Besnard Lakes.

With this album, the band has dispensed with the traditional two/three-year album cycle, taking all the time needed to conceive, compose, record, and mix their opus.

The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is a journey into (and back from) the brink, telling the story of the Besnard Lakes' own odyssey while also remembering others, especially the death of Lasek's father in 2019.

This requiem is bright-blazing and technicolor, showcasing the unconstrained and piercing sound of the band.

At the end of the day, The Besnard Lakes Are The Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings is where they should be - creating music that is both timeless and relevant in today's world.
