    Stumbled upon them by chance when the album first came out and have been hooked ever since. The music is great and the vocals are perfect but what really grabs me is the deeper meaning behind each song.

    Stumbled upon these guys, listened to 15 seconds of the first song and subsequently bought the entire album. Wasn't disappointed, this album is transportive.

    I think Lord Huron took a page from Yeasayer and Fleet Foxes and came up with a beautiful album. Not a bad song on the whole thing. In fact this quickly became my favorite album. It has a nice mixture of strong vocals and touch of psychedelic sounds mixed with beautiful melodies and beautiful lyrics.

    Sounding classic on arrival, Lonesome Dreams is certainly the best album of its kind since Damien Jurado’s Maraqopa.

    It sounds like the soundtrack to an odd dream about a Western film. [Mar 2013, p.96]

    A patchy debut effort.
