## Description

It's safe to assume that fans of My Morning Jacket will take an immediate liking to the first song on Lord Huron's 2012 debut album, Lonesome Dreams. Ends of the Earth finds frontman Ben Schneider singing in a high, throaty croon similar to that of MMJ frontman Jim James (right down to the gratuitous amounts of reverb). But there are sublime spaghetti western undertones resonating here; they have more in common with Bob Dylan's 1973 score for Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid than anything related to Ennio Morricone.

Review: Listen to it on headphones -- seriously - Wide-open spaces. A cracked and weathered two-lane highway running through a barren desert. An endless sky filled with glittering stars. The sense of possibility, that anything can happen. The heart-punch of lost love combined with a restless spirit and a determined soul. These are the sights and feelings that this album evokes. As a resident of Phoenix, this feels like a desert album to me, and for this I am endeared to it all the more. As for the sound itself, I can only say that this album is magnificent. It sounds a little bit like two of my favorite albums in particular -- the fantastic drums call to mind, at times, the tribal drum sound on Paul Simon's Graceland, and the chiming guitar and big-sky feel is reminiscent of Edge's guitar work and Lanois and Eno's production style on U2's The Joshua Tree. This is a big album filled with familiar ideas presented in a way that can make even the most steadfast soul start to yearn for a road trip, destination: west. The vocals are high and charmingly rustic, placed behind and quieter than the instrumentation, and there's a hollow sound to the production that makes the songs feel simultaneously big and airy, yet somehow intimate. I really do find this album hard to describe, but if you're a fan of mid-to-late-80's U2 (Unforgettable Fire through Rattle & Hum), Paul Simon's solo work (Graceland and The Rhythm of the Saints in particular), and/or Mumford & Sons, you will probably enjoy Lord Huron, as this group has a little bit of each of these sounds running through this album, but yet doesn't sound like any one of them in particular. As for listening to the album on headphones, you will discover just how richly layered the sounds are and how many little notes, tones, and extra rhythms are present that are otherwise slightly lost through speakers; the vocals are a bit better through headphones as well, as some of the hollowness is toned back and the vocals can shine through more clearly. Another reviewer wrote that after a while, all of the songs sound the same. While this isn't untrue, I don't view this as a negative. There's a theme running through the album, and the songs often flow into one other without any pause or break. The consistency of sound serves the fact that this is more or less a concept album, not a collection of singles, and thus should be played all the way through. I'm so glad I discovered this band, and can't wait for their next album, Strange Trails, due out on April 7th, 2015.
Review: Every. Single. Song. Is good. One of my most pleasant accidental discoveries in recent memory. - I was trying to find a song in the iTunes store that it turned out isn't available in it, but I figured I'd preview "Time to Run," since it was at the top of the results for my search. Then, I decided to preview all the songs. I enjoyed every single preview, so I went ahead and hopped on over here to desertcart to buy the album. I'm writing this as I listen to it for the second time, and here're my thoughts about it overall. Mellow yet uplifting. Not too fast, not too slow, neither too hard nor too soft. Though, there's also an undertone of melancholy to all the songs. I'm not quite sure how to describe the feeling, but if I had to try, I'd say it's a sense of hopefulness with a hint of loss. Like looking forward to what's new while having to let go of the old. Wonder at the unknown, but also the sadness of giving up the familiar. It's like moving out on your own as you begin adulthood. Bittersweet comes to mind. I like every single single on the album--an extremely rare occurrence. This is the kind of music I like to drive, cycle or even just sit around and relax to. Excellent work. I definitely look forward to more from them. Note: There's a bonus track on the iTunes version of this album called "The Stranger." I bought it separately, because I like getting as many songs in MP3 format from the get-go as possible, so there'll be less loss of quality, since there's no need to convert the already-compressed AAC iTunes file to MP3 for use in other ecosystems besides iTunes/iPod/iPhone/i...you get the idea. Update: Okay. So, I'm more of a visual person sometimes, just depending on the circumstances, and, as it turns out, reading the lyrics to the songs on this album as I listen to them gives the words much more impact. I just had two songs make me completely tear up...and they were just the first two songs I actually read the lyrics to as I listened to them. Curious to see what else I'll feel as I listen to the rest of the album like this. This really is turning out to be one of the best finds I've made in a long time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cannot stop listening to it!
*by V***S on August 2, 2013*

I was first introduced to Lord Huron on KCRW in Santa Monica. They performed a live session for the studio. I loved their performance then and I actually won one of their autographed copies of this CD. Then several months later I happened to be at the Hollywood Bowl where they opened for another group and again I LOVED their performance. I told myself that I needed to find that CD I had won. I did and started listening to it over and over again. I loved the music so much that I decided that I would buy the digital version to help demonstrate my support for this band. I now have it on my iPod, in my Amazon Cloud Player and on CD. And I listen to it ALL the time. I absolutely cannot get enough of it. I have even found some of their earlier works on the "other" music store and have it all in my players. And I continue to listen to it over and over again. I read one of the other reviews who mentioned the "sameness" of the songs. I can understand where he is coming from ... however I love the whole mood of the CD .. and all of their songs for that matter. Indeed I love how some of songs just flow into the next .. as if it is a work in total. My absolute favorite is "The Ghost On The Shore" followed by "She Lit A Fire" and "The Man Who Lives Forever". But there is not a bad song on the entire CD. There are many repeating themes in the songs, such as searching, death, traveling and the lake ... wonder if that is where their name came from ... Lake Huron. I cannot wait to hear more from this band and cannot wait to see them in concert again.!
