The Backhomes (2014)

Victoria, BC

Ex–Besnard Lakes Kees Dekker still possesses his former band’s cosmic consciousness and reverb worship, but this collaboration with ex–Key of K guitar slinger, Aimée Van Drimmelen, finds them expanding their world to embrace paisley underground pop and Kraut propulsion. Turn off your mind, relax, and ride a wooden ship to inner space on a river of lysergic fuzz. This elevator goes to the 13th floor — and beyond.
