Montreal maximalists the Besnard Lakes have released a new single called "Superego" today through Flemish Eye Records.
It's their first piece of new music since dropping their sixth album, the massive The Besnard Lakes Are the Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings, at the beginning of the year.
It's a slightly smaller offering than anything on that record, a fuzzed-out swirl that clocks in at just under four minutes.
The band said of the track:
"Superego" is a song that tells the story of Oggy's childlike fascination with the appearance of fireflies. First seeing them in Greece on a family vacation and now living amongst them, has a certain effect on one's moral fortitude, hence the title referring to Freud's Superego - a sort of angelic ideal in everyone. Also, there is a guitar pedal called a Superego that is all over this song. Double whammy! Hope you enjoy.
The Besnard Lakes are set to appear at this year's POP Montreal Festival.
