From LA Weekly: Lord Huron is probably Los Angeles' most mysterious band. They've only been in existence for a few months, but has already drawing critical buzz from their EP, Into The Sun that was released online in June. Going into the show, there were very few expectations. How can there be when the band has only released a three song EP and the sum total of most people's knowledge is that it's the project of a young man named Benji S. More? That's it.
A little after midnight, five guys took the stage and blasted the Lounge with pretty tropical pop melodies that would make Vampire Weekend weep with envy and Panda Bear do a double take. It was the kind of music you would expect from a beachside resort on a distant planet far far away.
You could almost feel the ocean breezes that poured out of the tropical guitar licks, which were accompanied by harmonized distorted vocals that sounded like they were coming from the bottom of a well, drums that came in like claps of thunder, steady maracas, and accented by odd computer yips and blerps from two laptops.
Sound insane? Perhaps, but it's the kind of laid back madness that I, for one, would like to be a part of.
