If you’re sick of folk music with pastoral tones and dreamy lyrics, Lord Huron is not for you. If you’re sick of landscapes and longings for something more, the idea that a mythology can be created through sound and song, the hope that life is more than just a series of days on a string — don’t listen to this song.
The latest single from the band’s album of the same name, “Lonesome Dreams” is the quintessential feel-good folk track but it doesn’t feel lapsed or recycled. Instead, Ben Schnieder and his cohort of musicians have created a song that feels like a resurrection — the bones of old folk ideas walk again with new electronic skin and it feels like a miracle.
