Ben Schneider wrote "Wait by the River" by himself, words and music, and it's part of Vide Noir, the third Lord Huron album and the American band's first for a major label, which Republic put out in April 2018. The road there ran through television: after years of touring behind Strange Trails, the band watched "The Night We Met" turn up in the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why and break into the Hot 100, and Republic came calling.
For the new record they handed the mix to Dave Fridmann, picked for what he'd done with Tame Impala, the Flaming Lips and Baroness. Critics were kind, and the album reached number nine on the Billboard 200, higher than anything the band had put out before.
