Denis Nazarov Though at least some of his current profile comes from being associated with the same Montreal scene that produced Grimes, those expecting more electro-pop cotton candy from Devon Welsh of Majical Cloudz had best adjust their expectations. His full-length debut Impersonator is electronic, yes, but is also spare, haunting, and unflinchingly emotional, circling heavy lyrical topics like death and desire. One would expect that at the Matador company picnic, he'll be keeping more company with Mike Hadreas of Perfume Genius than, say, Belle & Sebastian's Stuart [...]
I've been getting into several new albums of late, and when that happens, I often want to play several songs from the same band on my radio show. I restrained myself, narrowing it down to a pair each; that's the theme of tonight's show - doubles. I'll be playing back-to-back tracks from each artist I play tonight, including new stuff by The Besnard Lakes, Wolf People, King Tuff, and Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa. We begin, however, with a band I originally covered way back in 2010: Young Hunting. Regarding [...]

Reseña: The Besnard Lakes - Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO (Jagjaguwar, 2013) Por. p4ko maple He permanecido dando vueltas en un sendero obscuro con fragmentos de hielo que se derriten al caminar, me desplazo en una elipse interminable entre líneas sin rumbo, con destinos indefinidos, no sé si es de día o de noche, no importa en este lugar, a veces dentro de toda esa excesiva obscuridad observo al cielo buscando entre tantos tonos monocromáticos algunos objetos luminosos con formas diferentes a esta [...]
The Besnard Lakes reel away from the apocalypse with Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO, a much more subtle and refined work that adds light to the dim landscapes presented on their past albums. [...]

Weeknight is the next in a long line of male/female duo acts that sound a little like an electro version of the Raveonettes or Beach House. Hell, this stuff is practically in the wallpaper of the Glasslands Gallery in Williamsburg these days. Moody and lust-filled, Weeknight's debut EP is so deeply rooted in good taste that you really don't mind Warhol's glowing banana becoming a sound of ubiquity. Catch Weeknight at the Bowery Ballroom on May 3rd opening for The Besnard Lakes. - Brian Chidester Devil by Weeknight
by Tiana Feng Rating: Release Date: April 2nd, 2013 Label: Outside Music Montreal's The Besnard Lakes brings back their elusive music drifting between shoegaze, occasional rock moments and Beach Boys inspired harmonies. Their latest Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO is appropriately named, the songs like a soundtrack of someone floating through space. [...]

Renata Raksha Louise Burns must not have gotten the memo. You know, the one that stated that any Canadian artist who sought to change up their sound by trading guitars for synths had to adopt a new stage persona to go with it. Or maybe it's just a Toronto thing ? In any case, anyone expecting The Midnight Mass - the follow-up to her 2011 Polaris long-listed debut Mellow Drama - to stick to the same template on account of [...]

Rodriguez, Getty The Besnard Lakes ' Jace Lasek might not be working hand-in-hand with his fellow Montrealers Arcade Fire on their long-awaited fourth album due out later this year, but he's heard a few songs and says they're going in a Talking Heads direction. It was [...]
Nothing quite like figuring out that you still have 1600 shots to go through after six posts already up for SxSW... Sorry, SxSW seems like a distant memory, but I may just rekindle some fond memories of the smaller shows that you should have gone to. Official SxSW stuff, I have already shared the shots of The Flaming Lips headlined party and Iggy and The Stooges . This gallery has shots of Mompox , Young Galaxy , Local Natives , Gold Fields , Shout Out Louds [...]
Vanessa Heins They couldn't have known it at the time, but when naming their 2011 album Shapeshifting , Montreal's Young Galaxy were describing not only their sonic shift from well-worn dream-pop to sleek, futuristic disco, but in their fortunes as well. Their first couple records had failed to launch them into an orbit commensurate with their band name but Shapeshifting would make them, if not stars, then an act who were genuinely doing something fresh and interesting and well worth watching. It was a fresh start that not many [...]
The Besnard Lakes released their followup to The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night this month via Jagjaguwar and it's called Until In Excess, Imperceptible UFO . Joseph Yarmuch and Peros Kolyvas directed the music video we have for "People Of The Sticks", one of the finer moments of the new Besnard Lakes LP. Though Until In Excess is less climax and more slow-burning than Are The Roaring Night , it's still full of the huge sounding, melodic [...]
Sem sustos e sem medos, o que me está a parecer é que o fim do ano de 2013 será um período de grande dificuldade na selecção dos melhores álbuns do ano. O regresso de determinadas bandas/artistas ao elevador musical tem trazido obras bastante boas que nos vão preenchendo o vazio cultural que tem imperado neste país europeu solarengo. Mais um exemplo desta colheita é o duo canadiano The
