Lord Huron

Los Angeles-based producer/musician Ben Schneider, who performs under his Lord Huron moniker, manages to seamlessly blend Americana and tropicalia within the confines of an extremely listenable cohesive whole. While the result bears comparisons to a handful of bands, Schneider's work doesn't rely on heavy production or experimental synth tones—allowing for specific instrumentation (mainly guitar and mandolin) to be discernible in his music. Though Lord Huron isn't hugely known on the music scene, as he continues to release albums and tour, his notoriety will no doubt continue to grow.
