The Besnard Lakes

There is a war now. The message has been sent through short wave in code. The Besnard Lakes twisting chronicle, or fever dream, of spies, double agents, novelists and aspiring rock gods has turned violent. Loyalty, dishonor, love, and hatred all seen through the eyes of two spies, fighting a war that may not be real. One follows the other as they receive coded messages and spread destruction. The city is burning, and it's to the benefit of music obsessives everywhere. Once again, the husband-and-wife duo of Olga Goreas and Jace Lasek has crafted a majestic, sprawling vision of guitar bombast and captivating pop experiments.
The Besnard Lakes create worlds in their songs, layering guitars, synthesizers and vocals into dreamy, soaring soundscapes that have grown ever more confident since their 2003 debut. The Besnard Lakes have just released their fourth LP, "Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO", on April 2nd, and the band will spend most of April and May touring the U.S. and Britain.
