"Album of the month" - "Psych mainstays reach for the stars ... The Besnard Lakes have somehow pulled off a remarkable resurrection. Their sixth album - the audaciously titled The Besnard Lakes Are The Last Of The Great Thunderstorm Warnings - is an astonishing return, up there with their best records to date. Clocking in at 72 minutes, it's an album replete with echoes and allusions to the band's history, grappling with themes of death and renewal".

"Written and recorded in the wake of Lasek's father's death, the overall tone is more life-affirming than mourning. It would be disingenuous to say the Besnards had been on a downswing prior to this, but in wrestling with mortality they tap into a well of vital energy that makes the group appear revitalized and full of vigor".
