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. Imagine dreamy Beach House riding Led Zeppelin dynamics, with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies. Channelling their obsessions with the paranormal 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.
