由Jace Lasek和Olga Goreas組建于2003年的蒙特利爾獨(dú)立搖滾夫妻組合The Besnard Lakes是打造流行實(shí)驗(yàn)曲風(fēng)的音樂專家。樂隊(duì)成員還包括鼓手Kevin Laing和吉他手Richard White。The Besnard Lakes至今已發(fā)行了三張專輯，其中兩張得到了加拿大備受矚目的Polaris獎提名。 “加拿大的黑暗之花綻放了，在這對蒙特利爾夫妻組合帶來的迷幻火光中徐徐燃燒著，伴隨著陣陣挽歌。”-《Uncut》雜志 “一種無形的溫暖…一種來自其他世界的奇妙感覺…就像那些被投射出來的光束抓住的滴滴塵埃…四顆星。”-《MOJO》雜志 by Stewart Mason The Besnard Lakes raise immediate comparisons to the Arcade Fire, but those are primarily due to accidents of geography and band chemistry: like the Arcade Fire, the Besnard Lakes are from Montreal and led by a married couple. That's largely where the similarities end, because if this Quebecois collective resembles any of its Canadian counterparts, it would be as an unexpectedly effective combination of the Dears' psychedelic pop hooks and the languid space rock ambience of early Broken Social Scene. The aforementioned married couple, singer and guitarist Jace Lasek and singer and bassist Olga Goreas, formed the Besnard Lakes in 2001 as a sideline to Lasek's day job as an in-demand producer at the Montreal recording studio he and Goreas own, Breakglass Studios. (Lasek has produced and engineered records by Wolf Parade, the Dears, Stars, and many other Canadian indie acts.) The band was originally a full-time project, but before it could record its debut album, the other members of the band left. Undaunted, Lasek and Goreas recorded nearly all of 2003's Volume 1 on their own during down time at the studio, then self-released the result. Following the album's glowing reviews, a touring lineup eventually solidified, with guitarists Steve Raegele and Jeremiah Bullied and drummer Kevin Laing. During sessions for the band's second album, Bullied was replaced by Richard White and keyboardist and arranger Nicole Lizée joined the band. Signing to the venerable dream pop indie label Jagjaguwar, the Besnard Lakes released their second album, The Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse, in February 2007. 更多>>
