The list also includes a novel called “Setting Sun,” which does not have a corresponding track and is listed as unfinished. On George Ranger Johnson’s website, the Lonesome Dreams series novels are listed by publication date, which do not follow the order of the album’s tracklist. The character, Huron is perhaps somewhat self-inspired, as Schneider himself grew up in Okemos, Michigan and later moved to Los Angeles. Throughout the album, Lord Huron narrates the ongoing conflict of Huron’s longing for adventure out west against the gravity of his home and Helena, the girl he left behind. The songs of the album (and connecting novels) follow the adventures of three characters, Lord Huron, his companion Admiral Blaquefut, and Helena. The album’s ten tracks represent a series of novels by fictional author George Ranger Johnson, created by band leader Ben Schneider. Nevertheless the album will be a good travelling companion for the next summer drive, regardless of whether if you are alone or not.Lonesome Dreams is the debut album by LA-based indie band, Lord Huron. Many persons will have FLEET FOXES or BAND OF HORSES in mind, if you listen to Lonesome Dreams. But there is nothing new that LORD HURON presents us. But it is this restlessness, which can leave a melancholic mood.īen Schneider work pretty good with all these pictures of endless landscapes, the bitter sweet feeling of being far away and the longing for the one and only. It is an interesting and opposing mixture of the lyrics, melodies and rhythms. This gives a captivating drive in the songs, which won’t let you go. But he also picked up some percussive rhythms from calypso and Bollywood music like in The man who lives forever. Ben Schneider has his influences from singer-songwriter like BOB DYLAN, NEIL YOUNG and LEONARD COHEN. ![]() The record connects classic folk with some interesting other sounds. 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. It always reminds me of the friend group in ES. They are more like crossed by restlessness. I heard both Hozier songs and they really pass the series vibe (In the woods somewhere is ILITWs theme somehow) Ghost on the Shore by Lord Huron always makes me think of ILB. 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. “I been running a long, long time/ Trying to flee that life/ But I can`t seem to leave it behind.” ![]()
