The Besnard Lakes are a six-piece progressive rock band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Formed by the husband and wife team of Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas.

The band gained critical attention with their second album ‘The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse’, which was nominated for Canada’s Polaris Prize in 2007, with members of fellow Canadian bands Stars, The Dears, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor making guest appearances. Upon the release of their third album ‘The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night’, the band picked up a second nomination for the Polaris Prize, gained rave reviews across the board and firmly cemented themselves as one of Canada’s finest

“With this, their third album, The Besnard Lakes have crafted an elegant apocalypse of a record, a world where the atmosphere is forever dictated by the fallout that locks everything in crepuscular gloom, dispelling any conventional sense of time or place” – Drowned in Sound
