Many thanks to minister and music connoisseur Josh Rouse for his recommendation of Lord
Huron!
What They Think
Spin Magazine considers Strange Trails an album that has
unjustly been overlooked.1 Metacritic
users rate the albums combine to average a score of 7.5 out of 10.2
What I Think
I have a soft spot
for Indie Folk music. I love Fleet Foxes and retreat to Bon Iver for a calm
sound when days get a bit too hectic. While it seems that everyone is taking
their shot at an Indie Folk album, Lord Huron hits the mark. The album has a slow
and steady pace that settles in as you work your way through the album. It's an interested listen to say the least. Everyone
may be making a folk album right now, but Strange Trails is one that’s worth a
listen.
Favorite Lyric
I am not the only traveler
Who has not repaid his debt
I’ve been searching for a trail to follow again
Take me back to the night we met
(from The Night We Met)
Where It Fits
This won’t be in my everyday playlist, but it’s excellent
road-trip music. It is also a perfect soundtrack for Fall when things start getting
a bit colder. If you haven’t listened to Lord Huron yet, check them out. You’ll
be glad you did!
