The Besnard Lakes are a Canadian indie rock group from Montreal.
Released in April of this year "Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO" was nominated, like their previous work, for the Polaris Music Prize.
Elegantly blending smooth ethereal vocals, huge interstellar washes of keyboards with chiming guitar the single "People of the Sticks" is a glorious paen to Rumours era Fleetwood Mac soaked in cascading post-rock and shimmering space.
The result is an epic sonic sophistication - a modern memoire dedicated to classics like The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" and Pink Floyds' "Dark Side of the Moon".
