We have made no secret about our love for The Besnard Lakes and their incredible 2010 album …Are The Roaring Night. The record will end up in my top albums of the year, and I say this with a full 7 months remaining in 2010.

And today we get to recommend a video the band put together for the song “Albatross.” It’s one of the best songs on the record, and the video is a very cool interpretation of it.

In addition, check out this live WOXY session The Besnard Lakes recorded in March of this year during SXSW.
