What you sayNo-one has reviewed Volume One by The Besnard Lakes yet.
What the label says:Volume I is the debut album by the Besnard Lakes, that preceded their
recent opus The Besnard Lakes Are The Dark Horse, which was released on
Jagjaguwar in early 2007. Volume I was originally released in 2004,
and, at the time, The Besnard Lakes were comprised only of
husband-and-wife team Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas. Jace Lasek and David
Wm. Smith recorded the album at the studio they own together,
Breakglass, utilizing the elements available in the unique facility.
The end result is a rich, melodic and sometimes eerie tonal soundscape
of guitars, organs, synthesizers, drums, reverbs and vocal harmonies to
create a bizarre concoction of psychedelic conceptual progressive
pop/rock. Throughout the album, Olga and Jace share duties: guitars,
basses, organs, Fender Rhodes, synthesizers, drums, saxophone, flute,
vocals, reverbs and delays. Carrying the Breakglass label name, Volume
I is distributed throughout the world with the help of Jagjaguwar. The
Besnard Lakes have just recently become critical darlings, on the
strength of their live performances throughout North America and
Europe, as well as with their second full-length record The Besnard
Lakes Are The Dark Horse, which quickly made it onto numerous and
budding best-albums-of-the-year short-lists by a whole range of
musiclistening pedigree — critics, casual and not-so-casual rock
listeners, garden variety pop fans, and headphone junkies. In July of
2007, The Besnard Lakes were nominated for the prestigious Polaris
Music Prize, a cash price awarded for a full-length Canadian |
