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.

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.
