Lord Huron Brings “The World Ender”

“The World Ender,” the latest track off Lord Huron’s highly anticipated new record Strange Trails, is now streaming at Stereogum: http://bit.ly/1AavYJA.

“The World Ender” follows the release of the album’s lead single, “Fool For Love,” which reached #2 in the U.S. and #3 globally on “Spotify’s Top 10 Most Viral Tracks” and is the #1 most added at Triple A radio. KCRW praises the song’s “lovely layers of shimmering sound.”

Lord Huron will perform the new music on tour this spring, with support from Leon Bridges, Hamilton Leithauser and Family Of The Year on select U.S. dates. All tour dates are listed below.

Strange Trails was written and produced by frontman Ben Schneider and recorded at the band’s own Whispering Pines studio in Los Angeles. The album is an anthology of weird fiction—a new collection of tales from the world introduced on Lonesome Dreams. Schneider explains, “There’s no direct narrative connection between the two albums. The stories here are separated by time, location and characters. Many of the themes have carried over and evolved.”

Originally a musical and visual solo project by Michigan-native-turned-Angeleno Schneider, Lord Huron members now include Mark Barry (percussion, vocals), Miguel Briseno (bass, percussion) and Tom Renaud (guitar, vocals). After a pair of EPs, their critically acclaimed debut album Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012, followed by extensive touring both stateside and abroad, as well as appearances at major festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Firefly Music Festival and Newport Folk Festival.
