From their start in Montreal in 2003, The Besnard Lakes have built a reputation as one of Canada's most atmospheric and ambitious indie rock outfits. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas, the project operates like a studio-as-instrument, with a rotating cast enriching lush, cinematic soundscapes. The band has earned critical acclaim, including Polaris Prize nominations for both The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse (2007) and The Besnard Lakes Are the Roaring Night (2010).
