Lord Huron is launching a Vide Noir public access television show in select cities nationwide. A true multi-media artist, singer/songwriter/producer Ben Schneider has created an immersive program that expands upon the album's narratives and themes while showcasing the hidden world that inhabits Vide Noir. Fans can tune in to their local listings or see below for a current airing schedule. Additional local airings will be announced soon.
The band's highly anticipated new album, Vide Noir, is due April 20 on Whispering Pines/Republic Records. The album is already the subject of widespread critical praise;Los Angles Magazine proclaims, "Lord Huron is poised to break through," while Relixfurthers, "On Vide Noir, Schneider is lost, mystified and dazed-and it makes for his band's trippiest and most exciting music yet." Vide Noir can be pre-ordered athttps://LordHuron.lnk.to/VideNoirPR.
Additionally, Lord Huron's worldwide tour kicks off next week. Even as the band headlines their largest venues to date, many shows (including New York City, Chicago, Boston, Oakland and Seattle) have sold-out months in advance. Every pair of tickets ordered for the U.S. headlining tour includes a copy of Vide Noir. Tickets for the dates are on sale now at http://lordhuron.com.
Vide Noir was written and recorded over the past two years at Lord Huron's Los Angeles studio and informal clubhouse, Whispering Pines, and was mixed by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips/MGMT). Schneider found inspiration wandering restlessly through his adopted home of L.A. at night: "My nighttime drives ranged all over the city-across the twinkling grid of the valley, into the creeping shadows of the foothills, through downtown's neon canyons and way out to the darksome ocean. I started imagining Vide Noir as an epic odyssey through the city, across dimensions, and out into the cosmos. A journey along the spectrum of human experience. A search for meaning amidst the cold indifference of The Universe," he says.
