Lord Huron
Lord Huron
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".
Formation (2010–2011)
Schneider began writing music in his hometown of Okemos, Michigan before studying visual arts at the University of Michigan and in France then moving to New York City where he worked as an artist. After relocating to Los Angeles, in 2010 Schneider formed Lord Huron as a solo project, recording a few EPs on his own and enlisting musicians to play in live shows. The band's name was inspired by Lake Huron, which Schneider grew up visiting.

Lord Huron's first full-length album, Lonesome Dreams, was released on October 9, 2012. It debuted at No. 5 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart.
