'We had this fun idea that Lonesome Dreams was kind of this series of old adventure tales.' In an interview, Schneider alluded to influence from a specific work, called The Collected Works of Billy the Kid: Left-Handed Poems. With the release of Lonesome Dreams, the band released a series of music videos filmed in a western '70s style, which Schneider says was the focal point and narrative for the album.

5 on Billboard 's Heatseekers Albums chart. Lord Huron's first full-length album, Lonesome Dreams, was released on October 9, 2012. The band's name was inspired by Lake Huron, the lake which Schneider grew up visiting. In 2010, Schneider formed Lord Huron as a solo project, recording his first few EPs on his own and adding members to help play in live shows. Schneider studied visual arts at the University of Michigan and finished his degree in France, before moving to New York City where he worked for an artist. History Formation (2010–2011) įounding member Ben Schneider began writing music in his hometown of Okemos, Michigan. Lord Huron brings to mind the high-lonesome sound of antecedents like the Band, Neil Young, My Morning Jacket and Fleet Foxes'. Lord Huron combines western, folk rock, rock and roll, pop melodies, and the surf rock genres with soundtrack and new age influences to produce a sound described by The Wall Street Journal as having 'a decidedly cinematic flair, heavy on mood and evocative imagery. Following some solo and self-produced EPs, the group's debut album Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012 and their fourth and most recent album Long Lost was released in May 2021. The band is composed of Mark Barry (drums, percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass, keyboard, theremin), Tom Renaud (guitar) and its founder, Ben Schneider (guitar, lead singer).

Lord Huron is an American indie rock band based in Los Angeles.
