Lord Huron’s two 2010 EPs were followed only by quiet, mysterious tidbits of songs. Ben Schneider, the L.A.-via-Michigan musician and visual artist behind Lord Huron, finally ends his recording silence with debut full-length Lonesome Dreams: summery, jangled guitar-ballads purportedly based on a book of the same title by George Ranger Johnson – a book and writer that do not exist. Flawless harmonics and jolly African drums make it so you don’t mind being fooled. – Abby Johnston
