Vide noir by Lord Huron

Vide Noir, Lord Huron's third album, came out on Republic Records on April 20, 2018, the Los Angeles band's first release for a major label and the follow-up to 2015's Strange Trails. Founder Ben Schneider sings and plays guitar, backed by Tom Renaud on guitar, Miguel Briseño on bass, keys and theremin, and Mark Barry on drums.

Lord Huron have always built songs like film scenes, borrowing from country, western, surf rock and soundtrack music, and Vide Noir pushes that palette toward the after-dark end: reverb-soaked guitars, a moody haze, Schneider's voice drifting somewhere out past the city lights. "Wait By The River" is the track countdown listeners have kept returning to. Critics were kind, and it climbed to number nine on the Billboard 200, the band's highest showing in the States.
