This came out this week. Apparently, it's an older collection that is being rereleased after the success of . . . Are the Dark Horse. I read a review that says it's less psychedelic.

Has anyone heard this yet? Is it worth investigating? FKA, is it streaming on you favorite site?

Nah, sorry it's not there. I looked up some other sites but no dice. Sorry.

I wouldn’t even investigate it. Despite critics raving about Are the Dark Horses, to be fair it was an unoriginal, lack lustre effort. Hopefully Volume One will be better (which in its self wont be a momentous achievement.)

I liked Are the Dark Horse, but it's kind of a mood thing. I definitely have to be in the right mood for it.

It still runs a chance of making it onto my top 20...

Volume One (their debut album) is decent, but not as solid. It's more meandering and less focused. Here's a live version of one of songs from it. There are parts of songs that are terrific, but as a whole it's not something I can listen to over and over and enjoy the hell out of like I can with The Dark Horse

on another note, has anyone tried to decipher the code that is on the main page at http://www.thebesnardlakes.com?

i think its a beautiful piece of work , especially the first track ("Skyscraper Girls").essential for lovers of their new album.

Yeah, despite a lot of people really liking it, it was obviously not that good. Glad you cleared that up.
