Claude says:Ben Schneider started Lord Huron as a solo project in LA, naming it after the Michigan lake he grew up near, then built it into a full band known for cinematic folk-rock that nods to the Band and Fleet Foxes. This debut plays like a collection of dusty adventure tales — sweeping, western-tinted songs with just enough reverb and lonesome twang to feel like an old paperback come to life. You picked it up a year after release in fall 2013 and immediately ran with "Ends of the Earth" and "Time to Run," then let it sit for years before pulling it back out in 2021 and again last summer.
