Lord Huron

Lord Huron began as Ben Schneider's solo recording project before growing into a full band based in Los Angeles, California, where his folk and indie songs took on a widescreen, storybook quality. Their albums play like little worlds of their own, full of wanderers, ghosts, and lost love, and "The Night We Met" from 2015's Strange Trails found an enormous second life years after its release, becoming their best-known song. Few bands in this corner of folk have built such a distinct atmosphere across records.

Biography

Lord Huron is a Los Angeles-based American indie rock band composed of Mark Barry (drums, percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass, keyboard, theremin), Tom Renaud (guitar), and founder Ben Schneider (guitar, lead vocals). They released their debut album Lonesome Dreams in 2012, their second album Strange Trails in 2015, their third album Vide Noir in 2018, their fourth album Long Lost in 2021, and their fifth album The Cosmic Selector, Vol. 1 in 2025.

Lord Huron combines country, western, folk rock, rock and roll, pop melodies, and surf rock with soundtrack and new age influences to produce a sound The Wall Street Journal described as having "a decidedly cinematic flair, heavy on mood and evocative imagery. Lord Huron brings to mind the high-lonesome sound of antecedents like the Band, Neil Young, My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes".
