About

Montreal's Besnard Lakes—mostly the work of the husband-and-wife team of Jace Lasek and Olga Goreas—use a loose songwriting structure to show the strengths of their extensive ambient workouts. The group's sound has consistently shifted over the course of four albums, with 2013's <i>Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO</i> starting with stronger traces of actual songs before slowly ridding themselves of any pretense of verse-chorus and traditional vocal melodies. "And Her Eyes Were Painted Gold" has a notable tune breaking through the hazy patina; its sounds as if Pink Floyd are emerging through the fog. "People of the Sticks" is nearly a '80s-styled pop song. "The Specter," with its phased keyboards and sweet vocal ensemble, emits the feel of a post–<i>Pet Sounds</i> Brian Wilson tune. "At Midnight" brings Goreas to the forefront for a sound nearing The Cocteau Twins. With "Catalina," however, the album drifts into tone poems where the mood and instrumentation tell the tales. It climaxes with the seven-minute "Alamogordo," where The Besnard Lakes break free of all rules and regulations into the night.
