A sprawling, symphonic rock ensemble from a country that has come to be known for them,
The Besnard Lakes have been a constant at the coalface of Canadian independent music for some 15 years now. In this time, the group â which revolves around the creative and romantic partnership of husband and wife
Jace Lasek and
Olga Goreas â have created a respectable body of work, five albums of dense, textured progressive music, two of which have been nominated for Canadaâs Mercury equivalent, the Polaris Prize.
Fifteen years, of course, is a long time to have been in a rock group, a period long enough to weed out all but the most committed. By that point, the early hype has reduced to all but embers, elder statesman status is at least a decade off â truly, these are the marathon years. Had

Roger Waters has shared a new studio version of Pink Floyd‘s ‘The Gunner’s Dream’ – listen to it below.
Originally appearing on 1983’s ‘The Final Cut’ – the final Pink Floyd album to feature Waters – the new version was shared yesterday (January 18) to mark Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States.
Accompanied by a black-and-white video, it opens with the ominous statement, “I had a dream” – a phrase which is repeated throughout the almost six-minute clip.

“Last night I watched the 2013 documentary film
The Man Who Saved The World,” Waters said in a statement. “The man’s name is Stanislav Petrov. The year before Stanislav saved the World in the year 1982 I wrote a song ‘The Gunner’s Dream’. It’s weird to think that had Stanislav not been in the right place at the right time none of us would be alive. No one under the age of 37 would have been born at all.”
