Description

In a dark and stormy night / With the light coming over your halo," Jace Lasek sings, his voice high and whispery, in "Golden Lion," one of the standout tracks from The Besnard Lakes' fifth and latest album, A Coliseum Complex Museum. Lasek's reference to "It was a dark and stormy night," Edward Bulwer-Litton's notoriously melodramatic opening line, seems intentional; in "Golden Lion," the Montreal band spares no flourish or filigree in its attempt to turn sweet, tuneful indie rock into a baroque, psychedelic spectacle. In addition to Lasek's unapologetically lush imagery and glimmering guitar, bassist Olga Goreas holds down a groove worthy of Paul McCartney at his trippiest. That's not even mentioning keyboardist Sheenah Ko's synthesizer solo, which bursts forth like a geyser of icing.
