Sometimes looks can be deceiving, and I fully admit to judging those books by their covers on more than one occasion (a day).

Last December, we named Lord Huron’s Lonesome Dreams our favorite album of 2012. That’s right, #1, friends. No injuries were reported, and we didn’t argue over our final decision. Before we go any further, let’s just have a listen to “Time To Run” and dream about being free. That was nice. But there are even … Read more

I was pleasantly obsessed and assuaged by the tropical sounds and soothing sentiments Schneider delivered on Lord Huron’s debut EPs “Into The Sun” and “Mighty.” As Lonesome Dreams teasers … Read more
May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets’ towers into a dark primeval forest […] where something strange and more beautiful … Read more
Vinyl, CD, MP3, Spotify, etc. Take your pick, bust most of us around here prefer vinyl whenever possible, only because when we listen to a song like Brandi Carlile’s “Hard Way Home,” we can really feel it via our turntables.
