Somewhere in the two thousand-mile-journey between the capital of Saskatchewan and downtown Montreal exists a new body of music. It's where the two musical minds of longtime friends (and Besnard Lakes co-founders) Jace Lasek and Michael Gardiner met to explore and draw the new borders that make up the 45 atmospheric minutes of their debut album, "The Soft Province". Friends since the age of twelve, Jace and Mike have played music together since the age of sixteen. The last time they collaborated musically was in 2001 in the first incarnation of The Besnard Lakes. The Soft Province's debut self-titled album was recorded partially by Jace at Breakglass Studios in Montreal, and partially by Mike over a period of two years in Regina, Canada. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Soft+Province">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
