#GOD i love lord huron i feel like an english major again doing explications

[asteralien]

i'm not very knowledgeable about music subgenres so if this makes no sense, my bad, but like - we're all going wild over the cowboy vibes of long lost, and we should, but a couple songs - "long lost" and "at sea" most of all, imho - feel like they owe more to like... 60s lounge music, or something around there? the genre of music that stuff like "somethin stupid" by frank and nancy sinatra belongs to? that strings-heavy, kind of dreamy, romantic, bordering-on-sentimental kind of vibe? i LOVE it a lot and it's such an interesting feeling to combine with the cowboy-bar performance atmosphere of the rest of the album. i feel like "meet me in the city" is the perfect bridge from cowboy emotion to that vintage lounge vibe (actually "meet me in the city" feels very noir which DOES feel like the perfect marriage of cowboy and lounge, somehow). anyway long lost perfect album

#lord huron #long lost #when i first heard long lost the song i was like 'i know this song. what is this.' #and a little later i figured out it was 'somethin stupid' which used to be one of my fav old songs #and 'at sea' is just such a weird little outlier!! i can't figure it out except as a callback to songs like ghost on the shore #but grown up and moved to an expensive apartment in the city #GOD i love lord huron i feel like an english major again doing explications #it's so much fun!! i know it's not that deep but boy do i have a shovel #ALSO the fact that 'long lost' sounds so sophisticated and urban #when out of all the songs it's the one most about nature and being wild and free and stuff #whereas the cowboy emotion songs are like. oh my god. romance has made me miserable #layers !!!!!!!!!
