Great-named label Jagjaguwar seems to be mass-producing mythically-named bands playing mythic-sounding art rock right now, from Swan Lake to Ladyhawk to Okkervil River. Next up: The Besnard Lakes, whose sophomore set The Besnard Lakes are the Dark Horse hits stores February 20th. If you want to hear the record's ghostly evocation of Beach Boys prettiness (seriously, is Brian Wilson in the band?) right now, Jagjaguwar is streaming it on their website. You will have to wait until March, however, to hear how the band translates the new material to the stage. Tour dates after the jump...
