The Besnard Lakes raise immediate comparisons to the Arcade Fire, but those are primarily due to accidents of geography and band chemistry: like the Arcade Fire, the Besnard Lakes are from Montreal and led by a married couple. That's largely where the similarities end, because if this Quebecois collective resemble any of their Canadian counterparts, it would be as an unexpectedly effective combination of the Dears' psychpop hooks and the languid space rock ambience of early Broken Social Scene. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
