About
Unburdened by contractual obligations and working at their studio and informal clubhouse Whispering Pines in Los Angeles, Lord Huron found the freedom and comfort to pursue their vision without compromise. The result is Vide Noir: a sonically bold, bravely-executed saga that pushes the band’s sound in ambitious new directions.
Singer, songwriter and producer Ben Schneider found inspiration wandering restlessly through his adopted home of Los Angeles at night. His aimless nocturnal journeys ranged all over the city – across the twinkling grid of the valley; into the creeping shadows of the foothills; through downtown’s neon canyons; way out to the darksome ocean. The resulting collection of songs feels like an epic odyssey through the city, across dimensions and out into the cosmos.
Many of Vide Noir’s songs were tested on the road as early as 2016 and honed with a jeweler’s precision into their final form. Dusty ballads share space on the album with punky rippers, ‘50s sock-hop sways and ethereal electronic passages. Each entry is a glinting star, and together they form a sonic constellation examining the search for meaning amidst the cold indifference of the universe.
Vide Noir was mixed by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips/MGMT) and engineered by Sonny DiPerri (Portugal. The Man, Animal Collective). The album honors the traditions of both rock and folk as it embraces modern studio techniques. The stylistic experimentation speaks to Lord Huron’s confidence as storytellers and as craftsmen, armed with a growing array of tools.
Lord Huron’s work always comes richly adorned, and Vide Noir is no exception. The album will be accompanied by a wealth of imagery, films and immersive experiences crafted to expand upon its narratives and themes. A true multi-media artist, Schneider has previously used videos, a comic book, a choose-your-own-adventure hotline and assorted Easter eggs as means of deepening the listener experience. Fans steely enough to confront the ineffable have already uncovered a few of these accoutrements.
Lord Huron was created by Los Angeles-based Ben Schneider. Born and raised in Michigan, Schneider drew inspiration from the Great Lakes, which were carved by glaciers 14,000 years ago, and his music stands in awe and wonder of the natural world
After writing and recording two independent EPs (Into the Sun and Mighty) on his own, demand grew for Lord Huron to perform live. Schneider recruited friends Mark Barry (percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass) and Tom Renaud (guitar). Having first played music together at the tender age of 12, the group reunited and quickly hit their stride, transforming the project into a full-fledged band. Lord Huron signed with IAMSOUND, and the label released 2012’s Lonesome Dreams, and Strange Trails in 2015.
Strange Trails included the song, “The Night We Met,” which was featured in the Netflix original series “13 Reasons Why.” The series and song both became hits, and “The Night We Met” was certified platinum in January of 2018. This year also marks the beginning of a unique alliance between Whispering Pines and Republic Records, who will partner in the release of Vide Noir.
Lord Huron has toured extensively in North America and Europe, earning rave reviews and performing for sold-out crowds at some of the world’s most prestigious venues. The band has appeared at a wide range of music festivals including Lollapalooza, Coachella, Bonnaroo and Newport Folk Festival.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Sick Show!
by Codasnap52 on 2/10/14Terminal 5 - New YorkI've seen Lord Huron three times, and every time I've left feeling impressed. The best part is they continue to build upon their songs and become tighter as a band, making the musical experience even better each time. If you want to see a band with great energy and distinctive songs, LH is as good as it gets!

Rating: 5 out of 5 lord huron rocked!
by emitree13 on 8/1/13The Club at Stage AE - PittsburghI wasnt really expecting a lot from these guys, but as soon as they stepped on stage, they were awesome! I can definitely say each song was a billion times better live! The opening act, Escondido, was also super amazing! It was great at stage ae because everything was so up close and personal. The only major downfall was that the doors opened twenty mins later than expected.. and the concert was pretty delayed as well. But overall.. i loved it!! :)

by laina87 on 8/1/13The Club at Stage AE - PittsburghLord Huron was absolutely amazing live. Their passion for the music really comes through while their on stage. The way the stage up at The Club at Stage AE was a little awkward though - the location of the stage didn't maximize the space.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Amazing performance and vanue!
by Rosebud92 on 8/1/13The Club at Stage AE - PittsburghI had been to a show at Stage AE before, and I was confused when the venue was listed as "Club" AE instead of "Stage." This change was definitely an improvement! The show was limited to just the back half of the indoor venue, where the bar is. The stage was small and short-- I was standing toe-to-toe with it, looking right at the lead singer! There was a tv screen showing the performance if you happened to be in the back of the crowd or at the bar. It was very intimate for those of us in the front, though! Lord Huron are fantastic artists, and a huge inspiration to aspiring musicians. Their worldly sound is not over-whelming. The drums and percussion paired with layering/looping of guitar chords give them their unique sound. The songs are wonderful to listen to on the album, but they really come to life live! If you were anywhere near the front of the stage and weren't at least bobbing your head with the drums, you must not have ears. If you have the chance to see this band, I recommend it!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Lots of energy in person!!
by Anonymous on 6/26/13The National - RichmondNormally I think of Lord Huron as a chill, laid back kind of sound but I was pleasantly surprised by how much energy they brought to their live show. The lead singer was hopping around and practically headbanging! Definitely glad I decided to see them in person!

Rating: 3 out of 5 Bad acoustics but good band
by VAgirl333 on 6/23/13Webster Hall - New YorkI love Lord Huron but I have to surge acoustics at Webster Hall were awful... I could not understand any of the lyrics. Not sure if it was their equipment or the venue. Either way don't think I'll go back to Webster hall again... But I did think they put on a good show although short... Only played less than 90 mins.
Rating: 4 out of 5 dem good lookin' boyz know how to play
by StephiD707 on 6/15/13The Basement - ColumbusNot only is everyone in Lord Huron extremely good looking, they also know how to play some amazing jams. I was so impressed by their sound and their energy. Even though A&R bar is an awful place to watch shows (because the sound is crap), Lord Huron pulled it off.
Rating: 5 out of 5 Must See
by Melindaea3 on 6/15/13The Basement - ColumbusLots of energy and lots of talent. Sound amazing live. They were able to capture the same depth and quality heard on the album. Will definitely see again. You get your money's worth. Really eager to see how successful these guys will be.
