Lord Huron Vide Noir

Los Angeles-via-Michigan folk-rockers Lord Huron make their major-label debut with 2018's Vide Noir, their third album overall. Following the mainstream success brought to them by their platinum single, "The Night We Met," the quartet was signed by Republic Records, where their sepia-soaked epics received a heavy tonal makeover from mixing engineer Dave Fridmann (the Flaming Lips, Tame Impala). Darker in both mood and content than either of their previous outings, Vide Noir's English translation is "Black Void" and centers around themes of depression and heartbreak. ~ Timothy Monger
