The Besnard Lakes Get Shifty

There is something off center about The Besnard Lakes. They are lush, yet shifty, riding the glorious echo of reverb. The Canadian quartet, led by husband-and-wife duo Olga Goreas and Jace Lasek, make music cloaked in mystery, one hand on a gun, the other on a guitar, slinking into dark spaces and textured hideaways.

In March, The Besnard Lakes will release The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night - an album recorded with a vintage 1968 Neve germanium mixing console used to record portions of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti - which promises more intrigue from a collective that is sure to keep you guessing.
