Unique among their furrowed brow peers, The Besnard Lakes are unafraid to marry textured, questing headphone sonics to the honeyed pleasure of radio hits past: the rapture of My Bloody Valentine entwined with the romance of Fleetwood Mac. Imagine dreamy Beach House riding Led Zeppelin dynamics, with unabashedly androgynous vocal harmonies; a melodic yet mountainous sound world.
On their new album, The Besnard Lakes are the Ghost Nation (10th October via Full Time Hobby), the band return with their post-rock psych; but this time around, with a lightness and optimism at play.
“I feel like it's a very formidable title, symbolic of the times,” says Jace Lasek. “It's talking about the death of nations, the threat of Canada being the 51st state. There is the desire to be left alone, to let community be community, all of those things that feel like they might be under siege; that's what the ghost nation is.”
