Our Take

The Besnard Lakes have once again crafted a sonic masterpiece with their latest offering, 'A Coliseum Complex Museum'. This album is a swirling kaleidoscope of sound, blending dreamy shoegaze with anthemic rock in a way that only this Canadian band can pull off.

From the hypnotic opener "The Bray Road Beast" to the soaring crescendo of "Tungsten 4: The Refugee", the Besnard Lakes take listeners on a journey through lush, ethereal landscapes that feel both familiar and otherworldly. Jace Lasek's ethereal vocals float above cascading layers of guitars and synths, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both comforting and unsettling.

The production on 'A Coliseum Complex Museum' is immaculate, with every instrument and vocal line perfectly balanced to create a sense of space and depth. The band's attention to detail is evident on every track, with subtle textures and nuances revealing themselves on each listen.

Whether you're a long-time fan of the Besnard Lakes or a newcomer to their music, 'A Coliseum Complex Museum' is a must-listen. This is a band at the top of their game, pushing the boundaries of what shoegaze and rock music can be. Sit back, close your eyes, and let the Besnard Lakes take you on a journey you won't soon forget.

About the artist

The Besnard Lakes

Ah, Besnard Lakes. The Canadian band that can make you feel like you're floating in a dream while rocking out at the same time. Comprised of husband and wife duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas, along with a rotating cast of talented musicians, this group has been churning out ethereal psych-pop gems for over a decade. Their sound is a glorious mishmash of shoegaze, prog rock, and classic pop sensibilities, with lush melodies and swirling guitars that transport you to another world. Lasek's haunting vocals often float over the dense sonic landscapes like a ghost whispering secrets in your ear. Besnard Lakes have a knack for creating epic, cinematic soundscapes that draw you in and refuse to let go. Their music is like a kaleidoscope of sound, constantly shifting and evolving with each listen. It's no wonder they've been compared to the likes of Pink Floyd and The Flaming Lips. But don't let their dreamy sound fool you - Besnard Lakes know how to rock out with the best of them. Their live shows are a sight to behold, with blistering guitar solos and thunderous drums that will have you shaking in your boots. In a world where music seems to be getting more and more formulaic, Besnard Lakes are a breath of fresh air. So do yourself a favor and dive into their discography - you won't be disappointed.
