085 - The Besnard Lakes

Inside The Artist's Studio

On this episode of Inside the Artist’s Studio, Sean talks to the husband and wife team behind The Besnard Lakes, Jace Lacek and Olga Goreas. They chat about their sprawling and lush new LP, The Besnard Lakes are the Last of the Great Thunderstorm Warnings, and at the end of the episode, we highlight the equally sprawling title track from that LP. Before that, Sean, Jace, and Olga talk about the band’s move from longtime label Jagjaguwar to Flemish Eye, about concept records in the era of streaming, and coffee, restaurants, and washrooms in the European style.
