Wanna Jazz Up that PB&J? Smear On Some Besnard Lakes.

Just when that Peter Bjorn & John album was getting a little stale, along comes opener Besnard Lakes to spice things up. Not that Writer's Block wasn't a good album, but come on, it was soooo 2006. The Lakes' dense guitar-laden stylings have been a recent obsession of mine, and after missing their Spring romp through the Midwest, I'm pleased to hear news of their return. Now all you slow-on-the-uptakes can join me in heralding one of the year's most overlooked albums, Are the Dark Horse.

If only Animal Collective were joining the lineup, we could really make some good PB&J puns. Alas...
