Album Review: The Besnard Lakes - Golden Lion

Dylan Stewart
StarStarStarStar

"There's bound to be some scepticism of the shape of this release, as to whether it's a glorified single release."

More The Besnard Lakes The Besnard Lakes

The Besnard Lakes' star has been steadily rising over the past few years and, two months from the release of their fifth full-length album, it's about to rise a little higher. 

Golden Lion is a three-track EP featuring the lead single from their upcoming A Coliseum Complex Museum LP as well as a couple of 'exclusive' B-sides. There's bound to be some scepticism of the shape of this release, as to whether it's a glorified single release, but given the fact that tracks The Motorway and In the Forest didn't make the EP, then the album is gonna be pretty damn good.
