Lord Huron – the project of Los Angeles-based artist Ben Schneider – releases their new album, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, via Mercury Records. Schneider has an unquestionable “ability to create elaborate backstories for songs” (Uproxx). In the last several weeks, Lord Huron have offered a taste of this new record’s atmospheric and expressive songwriting through a string of striking singles – “Bag of Bones,” “Looking Back,” “Who Laughs Last,” and “Nothing I Need,” which spent six weeks at #1 on Adult Alternative radio. There will also be a forthcoming video for the focus track, “Watch Me Go.” Fans can now listen to the album, praised by Paste as “their most compelling effort so far,” in its entirety.

Lord Huron Drops The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 And Tour

The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, Lord Huron’s fifth album, was written and co-produced by Schneider. Alongside Schneider are his band members Tom Renaud, Mark Barry and Miguel Briseño, and a host of collaborators, including actress Kristen Stewart (on “Who Laughs Last”) and Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino (on “Fire Eternal”). In the words of Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 “is as full of evocative songs, as beautifully American as its predecessors. The difference, musically speaking, is that they don’t look as much to the past, thus adding force to the lyrics, which face two directions at once: backward, toward the ghosts of the past, and up, toward the emptiness of the universe.”

Tonight, Lord Huron kick off their biggest headline tour to date, hitting landmark venues along the route including Madison Square Garden in NYC and the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Select performances feature support from Waxahatchee, Feist, Kevin Morby and more.
