Martin Bandyke talks to Michigan native Ben Schneider, lead vocalist & chief songwriter of the indie folk quartet Lord Huron. Schneider discusses the making of “Long Lost,” his band’s latest album.
As a painter, I’m so glad Martin asked Ben about his visual art inspirations. I’m in awe with Ben’s visual and sonic creations. So jealous that he can do both so well!
I have never fallen so deeply in love with a band in a such a short amount of time as I have with Lord Huron. And I know they have a lot of western influence, but I separate them from today's country music genre. It would be odd to me if Ben himself considered themselves to be Country music. I feel they are unique and break down genres, I don't think they can be called any one genre. But I certainly wouldn't say Country.
Great interview. Interesting to hear about the music Ben grew up listening to. I think Ben's parents and myself are of the same age. Our son grew up listening to Queen lots & I can still picture him in his carseat wailing out "Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go". Can't wait to see LH in September in Philly! You have been long lost!
The album cover artwork by Ben and the accompanying video's are brilliant.Here's my take on the head. Our brains are made up of layers of memories , blended , yet on their own unique time lines.This album manages to grab different layers and blend those memories into something nostalgic , yet new. Then I look at it again and I see Montgomery Burns.
So much depth in all their layers. I really love some of the short films they've done. Been a fan for a long time just drove (from Michigan) my 3 teenage boys to see them at a beautiful night at Asbury park 🤯
I just love this band. Saw them first on James Corden's Late Late Show, summer 2021. Their sound blew me away. Their vibe is so unique. Now have all their CD's. Also saw them on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, summer 2021, same thing.....unbelievable artists. I wanted to see them live in Bend, Oregon.....but too much covid-19 all around. I'm a nurse and we had too many people dying at our hospital in September 2021.
Visual AND musical artist.....maybe not as prolific but as brilliant as Robyn Hitchcock. I'm diving into Long Lost, hoping some is as perfect as "Your Other Life".
Criminally underrated band. Greatness.
Agreed.
These guys are incredible live. Their music is amazing and they are true performers.
Lord Huron going big! Great to see such a humble, class act, doing well in music.
This is a great band. They write great songs but more importantly perform them live so well. Congratulations.
Beautiful music!!
Can’t even express how great this band is. I hope they live forever.
I fvcking LOVE Lord Huron.

Great interview. Just recently found Lord Huron's music and love it. Ben is a very relaxed person it seems. Enjoyed listening.
i had the privilege of meeting ben’s mom when i saw them in raleigh, she was such a sweet lady❤️ no question as to where ben got his humbleness :)
Whoa that's actually so cool.
These guys (huron) are the baddest dudes walking the earth right now. No questions asked

Hes like hanging out with an old friend. No wonder I love his music
