Lord Huron

About

Lord Huron is a band that thrives in the liminal spaces between reality and myth, crafting lush, cinematic soundscapes that feel both timeless and otherworldly. Formed in Los Angeles by Michigan-native Ben Schneider, the group blends indie folk, Americana, and psychedelic rock into a sound that evokes the vastness of the American wilderness. Drawing inspiration from classic Westerns, vintage radio dramas, and the mystique of the natural world, Lord Huron’s music is a journey through haunting melodies and poetic storytelling. The band’s breakthrough came with their 2015 sophomore album, *Strange Trails*, which featured the hit single “The Night We Met,” a haunting ballad that became a cultural touchstone after its inclusion in Netflix’s *13 Reasons Why*. This catapulted Lord Huron into the mainstream, earning them a dedicated global following. Their 2018 concept album, *Vide Noir*, further cemented their reputation as masterful storytellers, weaving intricate narratives across songs and visuals. Lord Huron’s cultural impact lies in their ability to create immersive worlds, both sonically and visually. Their live performances are theatrical experiences, complete with elaborate stage designs and a sense of mysticism. Collaborations with artists like Phoebe Bridgers and Allison Ponthier have expanded their reach, while their recent 2021 album, *Long Lost*, showcases their evolution into a more experimental, genre-defying sound. Currently, the band continues to tour extensively, captivating audiences with their enigmatic artistry and unwavering commitment to storytelling.
