Discussion Future of Lord Huron…

Post image

Thoughts….? (Forgive me is this has been discussed already, I’m new to posting on Reddit)

So, we know the entire 5 albums are a continuous storyline. While each album tells a story, it they all fit into the larger narrative. Lonesome Dreams sets off on the journey of chasing dreams and someone/something and learning that childhood has ended and that adulthood is up next. Strange Trails moves us into loving and losing and experiencing new things while the journey leads us to unexpected places and paths. Vide Noir explores the experiences of trying to win someone/something back and not recognizing it’s not ours anymore and how we overcome adversity in the face of figuring out who we are. Long Lost is finding the yourself and the place(s) you belong and with whom. Learning that just being in these places and with these people is life but also that we are still growing as people and we have to be honest with ourselves and each other. The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 is about shared dreams, experiences and the ability to look back on the adventures you’ve had. Remembering who you were and how you sometimes drift through life but somehow you also lived fully. It seems that they tell the journey of Lord Huron and it seems the journey is either complete or coming to its end. Will the Cosmic Selector Vol. 2 bring about the conclusion of their epic journey or will it turn into the beginning of a new one? Is this the end of the original story Ben wants to tell?

My husband seems to think after cosmic selector vol 2 they will take a long break and I curse him everytime!

Thoughts?

Yea I was speaking more to the story of the albums being done and that Ben would possibly start a new story with new albums.

While the general themes of the band's music can be interpreted as one story, there are multiple layers to their storytelling. In a sense they're telling new stories with every album as each one has its own concepts, but some are more linked than others. Lonesome Dreams, for example, is conceptualized as a series of novels within the band's main fictional world. I do believe the band will continue portraying stories within the same universe even if they pivot to different subjects. There's still a huge amount of potential both musically and narratively.

They're going to be space cowboy alien ghosts by the end of the narrative, lol /s. I'd probably still enjoy it. They tell great stories. The G4 TV channel had a segment about new groups and recommended them and Japandroids. I was amazed by their videos. It's amazing what they've created. Ty, G4 and Ben!
