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.

Three brand new tracks as a precursor to a new album due in 2016. Make no mistake: these are three tracks of The Besnard Lakes at their most glorious, anthemic, psychedelic best.In late 2014, The Besnard Lakes hit the road with a brand new line up; retaining the core of husband and wife team Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas, plus longterm drummer Kevin Laing, they expanded to a five piece adding Sheena Ko (of the High Dials and USA out of Vietnam) plus Robbie Macarthur (also of the High Dials) on synths and guitar respectively. A total rejuvenation of the band, these were some of the most downright glorious and visceral shows The Besnard Lakes had played to date, blowing the roof off venue after venue with an enviable catalogue of anthems. As soon as they were back from tour, Lasek and Goreas hunkered down to write some of the most definitive Besnard Lakes songs to date.
