If you listen to LORD HURON‘S Lonesome Dreams you feel an unmistakable need to be on the road. And this is why the album seems so perfect for a lonesome ride. They are more like crossed by restlessness. But the melodies aren’t melancholic in a direct way. Schneider’s songs relate to desire, love, a search and finding. But it would be too easy to say that Lonesome Dreams is an album for all the lonesome souls. Already in September 2012 we received a first impression to this with the offering of the music video for Time to Run. Finally, on the 14th of January their first full length record will also be released in Germany. What once started as a solo record project of the Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Ben Schneider – with his first two EP’s in 2010 Into the sun and Mighty – developed to a band with some of his buddies. LORD HURON yields with his debut album Lonesome Dreams a perfect soundtrack for this little day dream. Sometimes you feel the urge to put on a cowboy hat and ride into the sunset.

Lord Huron released two EPs in 2010, Into the Sun and Mighty. Each of the band members of band hail from Michigan. The first to join him was his percussion-playing childhood friend Mark.
