Similarly, the books themselves do not appear to exist.But Johnson did not write these books either! That is because he does not exist.They are credited to the author George Ranger Johnson.
#THE GHOST ON THE SHORE LYRICS SERIES#
Schneider envisioned the album Lonesome Dreams as a soundtrack of sorts to a book series of the same name.The band’s name derives from Lake Huron, which frontman Ben Schnieder spent time on the shores of as a child, but the band itself is based in Los Angeles.So I’ll try to break it down into bullet points to ensure that this doesn’t get too long-winded and confusing. And I’ve chosen it as the subject of this month’s “nostalgia review”, even though to my ears this thing is still very new.Įxplaining the concept behind Lord Huron is likely to be met with a hefty dose of “Wait, so let me get this straight…” type responses. Their debut album, Lonesome Dreams, pretty much instantly rocketed its way into the upper tiers of my best-of-the-decade list when I made a point of listening to it in full. Really all it took was a single song on a personally curated playlist (and later another for good measure) and I was pretty much instantly hooked. Turns out I had heard them before, but never heard of them. Very late in 2019, in the middle of a gargantuan attempt to catch up with as much great music as possible that I had missed out on earlier in the decade, my wife managed to blindside me with the discovery of a band that I had honestly never heard of before. The band has evolved a bit in the years since, but nothing they’ve done since then has hit me nearly as hard. Lord Huron’s unique habit of weaving together pieces of a story in anachronic order, told from the perspective of a not-so-reliable narrator, as well as their occasional use of electronic and worldbeat elements, helps to set their songwriting style apart from influences like Fleet Foxes and My Morning Jacket that they quite obviously wore on their sleeves at this point.
In Brief: An astounding debut that immediately transports me back to the days when the indie folk revival was still going strong.
