Review: Lord Huron's album Strange Trails is a hauntingly beautiful album now being reissued to meet the demand from fans. The album's embedded narrative, featuring fictional singers and bands, creates a dreamlike atmosphere that evokes feelings of love, loss, and the cycle of life. Tracks like 'Love Like Ghosts' and 'Until the Night Turns' showcase the band's ability to blend serene instrumentals with poignant lyrics, while songs like 'La Belle Fleur Sauvage' and 'Fool For Love' explore themes of love from different angles. The album's standout track, 'The Yawning Grave,' offers a sung warning about death, adding to the album's mysterious allure. As the album concludes with 'The Night We Met,' Lord Huron's ability to evoke deep emotions through achingly simple lyrics is truly remarkable. Overall, Strange Trails is an essential album that looks deep into a world of myth and emotion.
