NotesStrange Trails, the highly anticipated new album from Lord Huron, will be released April 7th via IAMSOUND Records. Strange Trails is the follow up to Lord Huron's breakout debut Lonesome Dreams, which received widespread critical acclaim and was included in various 2012 'Best Of' lists. The new record was written and produced by frontman Ben Schneider and recorded at the band's own Whispering Pines studio in Los Angeles. Strange Trails is an anthology of weird fiction - a new collection of tales from the world introduced on Lonesome Dreams. Schneider explains, 'There's no direct narrative connection between the two albums. The stories here are separated by time, location and characters. Many of the themes have carried over and evolved.' Originally a musical and visual solo project by Michigan-native-turned-Angeleno Schneider, members now include Mark Barry, Miguel Briseno and Tom Renaud. After a pair of EPs, their debut album Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012, followed by extensive touring both stateside and abroad, as well as appearances at major festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Firefly Music Festival, Newport Folk Festival and more.
Strange Trails - An Astonishing Album from a Gifted Group
An album filled with melancholic ballads, tales of lost love and wonder, Strange Trails is truly mesmerizing. Lord Huron has mastered a folk-rock vibe that fills your eyes with vivid imagery. The lyrics have incredible depth (something most "indie" bands cannot achieve) and every tune is a potential earworm. I find myself humming "Frozen Pines" and "Louisa" all of the time. ALL OF IT.
The band itself is incredible, with every instrument played to perfection. This is all capped off by Ben Schneider's dreamlike voice that allows you to not only listen to these songs, but feel them as well. When people ask me for music recommendations, I rapidly blurt out Lord Huron. My excitement normally scares them away, though...
Lord Huron achieves what few can do, although they do so with hardly any recognition. And, if you're simply looking for good music to listen to and not thought provoking sounds and feelings, buy Strange Trails - and check out Lonesome Dreams, another amazing album from this gifted group. You won't regret your purchase(s).
