Jagjaguwar

Jagjaguwar is an American independent label based in Bloomington, IN. Founded in Charlottesville, VA in 1996 by Darius Van Arman, the label was invited to relocate to Bloomington by Jason Noble of Rodan. Darius followed this invitation in 1999 and has since built a reputation for releasing exceptional music.
With a focus on promoting talented artists across various genres, Jagjaguwar has become known for its diverse roster and commitment to supporting independent music. The label's catalog includes releases from acclaimed acts such as Bon Iver, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra.
As a trusted name in the industry, Jagjaguwar continues to champion innovative and boundary-pushing music. With their dedication to quality and artistic integrity, they have established themselves as a go-to destination for music lovers seeking unique sounds and fresh perspectives.

The Besnard Lakes is a Canadian indie rock band hailing from Montreal, Quebec. Formed in 2003, the band has gained recognition for their unique sound and captivating performances. Drawing inspiration from various genres, their music combines elements of indie rock, shoegaze, and psychedelic rock.
With a discography that spans over several albums, The Besnard Lakes have established themselves as a prominent force in the Canadian music scene. Their distinct sound and thought-provoking lyrics have garnered them a dedicated fan base.
Influenced by artists such as *Handsome Furs*, *Plants and Animals*, and *Wolf Parade*, The Besnard Lakes have carved out their own niche within the indie rock genre. Their atmospheric compositions and powerful vocals create an immersive listening experience that leaves a lasting impression on audiences.

Unique among their furrowed brow peers, The Besnard Lakes are unafraid to marry textured, questing headphone sonics to the honeyed pleasure of radio hits past: the rapture of My Bloody Valentine entwined with the romance of Fleetwood Mac. (Echoing prime FM they actually now have two girl/boy couplings in the line-up, keyboard player Sheenah Ko and guitarist Robbie MacArthur joining powerhouse drummer Kevin Laing and non-touring studio axe hero Richard White.) Imagine dreamy Beach House riding Led Zeppelin dynamics, with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies. This melodic yet mountainous soundworld was sculpted at Breakglass, their own modest Paisley Park. As the longterm sporter of a Love Symbol tattoo, Prince's pop alchemy is especially potent for Jace. Channelling their obsessions with the paranormal - Jace was a teenage ghost hunter - as well as the dark arts, 'A Coliseum Complex Museum' is populated by cryptozoological creatures (The Bray Road Beast, Golden Lion) while also luxuriating in natural phenomena and beauty (The Plain Moon, Nightingale). These themes are sincere yet good-humoured. The LP's title jokily refers to a landmark-heavy road sign spotted on tour in Texas, the varied emotional impulses within reflected by its environmentally warped artwork.
