Soft Province - Soft Province Καλή η προσπάθεια του Jace Lasek να μας αποκρύψει το νέο δίσκο των Besnard Lakes αλλά δεν τα καταφερε. Μπορεί να έχει ονομάσει τη νέα του μπάντα Soft Province αλλά ο ήχος είναι καθ' εικόνα και ομοίωση με τους Besnard όμως αυτή τη φορά αντί για την Olga Goreas τον βοηθά ο παλιόφιλός του Michael Gardiner. Εκ πρώτης όψεως κάποιος θα πει ότι ο Jace έχωσε μερικά ριφάκια που περίσσεψαν από τους Besnard. Με μια παραπάνω ματιά όμως, προσέχοντας [...]

The Besnard Lakes Having released The Besnard Lakes Are The Roaring Night a little over a year ago, Montreal's The Besnard Lakes won't have another new BN record to promote when they hit the Bowery Ballroom May 14, 2011 , but co-founding members Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner have been busy nonetheless. On February 22, 2011 , Lasek and Gardiner released the self titled debut of their side project, The Soft Province [...]

Jace Lasek en Michael Gardiner speelden tien jaar geleden samen in The Besnard Lakes , de Canadese indierockband waarvan Lasek nog steeds de voorman is. Ze kennen elkaar al sinds hun twaalfde. En ze maakten voor het eerst samen muziek toen ze zestien waren. Nu zijn ze weer even samen, als The Soft Province. 22 februari verschijnt het gelijknamige album. Shoegaze pop.

Over the last few years, Jace Lasek 's fingerprints have been all over many of the most important and well received Can-indie releases. Whether it's his own band or his skillful production and recording , he seems to have entered the "Gargamel boiling 6 smurfs" realm; his concoctions bubble up to create gold. Lasek's latest endeavor, The Soft Province , proves the point. The new self-titled LP is a musical collaboration with long time friend, musician and recording engineer Michael Gardiner . Recorded two years ago, the [...]

When the Besnard Lakes side project the Soft Province was announced earlier this year , I quickly fell for the track I See Two Eyes , with Jace Lasek's falsetto sprawling over the dreamy guitar tones of longtime friend (and former Besnard bandmate) Michael Gardiner. Nine months later, Three Ring Records has released the song as a digital single in advance of the duo's self-titled full-length, due for release on Feb. 22. The single features two non-album tracks: Bring Your Honour for Arabia and a remix of In a [...]

" On November 16, 2010, Three Ring Records will release a new digital single by The Soft Province. The single is titled `I See Two Eyes` and it is the lead track on The Soft Province's upcoming self-titled full length". The Soft Province is another release that`s been mentioned as far back as February this year, i`m always slightly dubious when an album crops up in this manner and is penned as an `end of, towards next year` release. I`m not naturally suspiciously minded, I just have not one ounce of patience my friends, none! - [...]

Okay. Are you PSYCHED for the WEEKEND?! Snow days, Valentine's Day, President's Day... heck, just any old Friday is cause for celebration. For awesome music. Free music. Even in the face of Google shutting down music blogs without warning (aka #Musicblogocide2k10 ), we here at EAR FARM feel it's high time for another dose of 100 percent free and legal tunes (we think) from our inboxes direct to your ears. Seriously, we're calling these 100 percent free and legal tunes because they're sent to us by record labels and bands themselves with the [...]

I'm excited enough about a new album from the Besnard Lakes coming out on March 9, and now comes news of a side project of frontman Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner, co-founder and former member of the Montreal-based band. The project is called The Soft Province – the first time the pair have collaborated since the first incarnation of the Besnard Lakes in 2001. Their self-titled debut is due for release in early summer on Three Ring Records , and the early previews at MySpace sound very promising. [...]

Cleaning out the mailbox for the first time this month. Once again I let it get full enough that I could skip over most of the really wretched "indie" stuff and the various remixes of songs I've never heard of. Something I saw for the first time is an email from a band's promo person directing me to another blog to download the music. I can't tell if that's lazy promotional work or outstanding blog work. A pretty fair amount of rock comes up with this purge: Burn the Evidence, Throwing Seven, and Gangcharger all crank up [...]
You could say that Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner have poor timing, but that isn't the case. Sure, they are releasing an album as The Soft Province this summer, only a few months after their full-time gig, The Besnard Lakes, delivers its highly-anticipated The Besnard Lakes are the Roaring Night. Sure, it's a risky play that could result in over-saturation; however, early signs indicate that The

Who : The Soft Province from Montreal and Regina. What : From two music minds and longtime friends (and Besnard Lakes co-founders), Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner are The Soft Province and this in an introduction to their new body of work, 45 atmospheric minutes in their self-titled debut. 'Drawing on Mike and Jace's love of the pop song and long repetitive drones, the album spans the distance between the concise pop song structure of Francoise Hardy and the psychedelic organ drones of Broadcast'. The press release could [...]
