An enjoyable collection of great western-tinged country and rock’n’roll songs that are nostalgically authentic but have a lingering haunting context.
Long Lost could be considered an opus of sorts, a fully realized work that’s epic, intriguing, expansive, and yet introspective. It’s an emotional encounter that delivers on all it promises far more often than not.
Imagining a backstory for Long Lost, centred on mysterious artists who may have recorded at their Whispering Pines studio in the past, has allowed Lord Huron to wax nostalgic for country music’s golden age.
Fluctuating between creative evocations of bygone tunes and finely-tuned instrumental hooks, Long Lost is less constrained by its thematics than previous records, yet feels like Lord Huron’s busiest album as a result.
Durante un curso universitario, de no recuerdo qué materia, un maestro nos comentó, y no estaba alejado de lo cierto del todo, que un creador, en cualquier oficio artístico que se desempeñe, debe pensar, antes que nada, en el espectador al cual estará dirigido su mensaje. Entiendo que la idea obedece a la necesidad que tiene el arte en general de ser difundida entre la audiencia, para alcanzar un mayor impacto; porque es ella al final, la audiencia, la que ... read more
Wow, I'm just floored. I was excited for this album, but I didn't think it could top Strange Trails. It just might have. The lore of the band continues, this time taking vintage country, folk and rockabilly flavors of the woods to the city, telling the story of the ghosts of the living, the love lost not from the powers of Death but from the powers of Life, controlled by nature and will rather than Fate. The production is flowery, with ornate string arrangements and comforting twang, and Ben's ... read more
I’m walkiiingggggg through the foressssttttt
Lord Huron is an indie artist that Im not really familiar with, but I decided to give this a listen. How do I feel? Well, its pretty good, but it isn’t amazing to me. I’ll start with what I like. I think this album has a really good overall feeling to it. You could listen to this while you are camping out in a forest and cooking up some marshmallows over a fire at night. That would make the most sense to me for this album haha. It ... read more
It is said that time heals all wounds, but the way in which it heals those wounds is by removing them. The healed blisters and cuts are only a small portion of the work time actually does. The sands of time erode away all that you leave behind. Your family, your friends, your name will all be gone when time says the word. All that will be left is the unrecognizable dust of what you once were ready to be collected and built into something new.
Felt like I was listening to the same song over and over, and though it was pretty, it got boring, especially at the end with the 14 minute instrumental track.
Don't really like the songs that are under 2 minutes. Also didn't feel like the album needed to end on a 15-minute instrumental track.
