Our Take

Jolly good, let's dive into the latest opus from Montreal's own Besnard Lakes. Titled "Besnard Lakes Are The Last Of The Great Thunderstorm Warnings," this album is as mysterious and enigmatic as its name suggests.

From the opening track, it's clear that the band has lost none of their experimental edge. With swirling synths, lush harmonies, and epic guitar solos, the Besnard Lakes take us on a sonic journey through thunderous storms and tranquil waters.

Lead vocalist Jace Lasek's ethereal vocals soar over the intricate layers of instrumentation, creating a dream-like atmosphere that is both captivating and unsettling. The band's penchant for grandiose arrangements is on full display here, with each track building to a climactic crescendo that leaves you breathless.

Standout tracks like "Christmas Can Wait" and "Feuds With Guns" showcase the band's ability to blend psychedelic rock with shoegaze and prog influences, creating a sound that is uniquely their own.

Overall, "Besnard Lakes Are The Last Of The Great Thunderstorm Warnings" is a mesmerising journey through soundscapes both familiar and otherworldly. So grab your headphones, pour yourself a cuppa, and let the Besnard Lakes transport you to a place where thunderstorms reign supreme. Cheers!

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.
