THE BESNARD LAKES
Formed in 2003 by husband and wife duo Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas in Montreal’s Mile End: a young burgeoning scene of artists and musicians enjoying low rent in the early 2000s. Meeting Kevin Laing in 2004 at a recording session, he would agree to become the band’s long-time drummer and anchor. Sheenah Ko (keys, vocals and vibes) and Gabriel Lambert (guitars), round out the powerhouse that makes this band a thing to behold in a live setting, widely regarded as an ethereal and otherworldly live musical experience.
In the last 20-plus years of music-making and touring, they’ve released multiple studio albums and EPs, been nominated 3 times for the Polaris Prize, been featured in Mojo and Uncut magazines, performed on Jimmy Fallon, and received widespread critical acclaim for their meticulous long-form psychedelic musical experiences.
