The Besnard Lakes - 'For Agent 13'

[BycraftWelding]

Had the pleasure of watching these guys open up for Band of Horses and then Wintersleep in the same week. Great band, shit that guy can belt it out! This song was the one that seemed to stick out the most for me. However...I find her voice to be sub par. lol

Brilliant song, awesome band..

This is my favourite track on the record, it really stands out in my opinion.

You can see the band, you can hear everybody, what the f__ else do you want?

Go see them!

I bought this album a few months ago. I absolutely love it. It appears to be a concept album of sorts. This particular song ("For Agent 13") is my favorite on the album. I'm not too concerned with the sound quality of this recording. It's pretty good for a youtube video of a live performance. I love Canadian Indie!!!

Thanks for posting this - as far as YouTube live video sound goes this is at the better end of the quality spectrum and it's filmed close to the action so its thumbs up from down here.

So, listen to the CD if u want fine sound. This is a sample of what they were at that instant. And it is likely close to how they sounded. It's just pop, for cryng out loud, don't priss...

This dosen't do the band any favours, a classic song.

[zalenka]

Why bother to post a vid with such a naff quality soundtrack? Makes the band look amateurish!

[deepbight]

Get over it

[zalenka]

Not a very articulate response, are you from the States? Let's hope this band doesn't tour outside of USA.

[deepbight]

You comment wasn't very articulate to begin with.

In a perfect world, all band footage on YT would be of the highest quality, but alas..

The audio quality of this video is not the best I'll admit, but it's the best YT footage of this band so far: close to the stage (which is partly why the audio suffers), and the angle is good. I think it captures them pretty well.

Amateurish? Try looking past the production values for what's really happening here.

Post script: This band is Canadian, as am I.

[zalenka]

Ok, let's hold it here. To be honest, in looking at the other tubes of the band i guess it's the band that i find i dislike, something twee about them. No offence intended. (Are you in the band?)

Un groupe sympa et des mélodies planantes
