Lord Huron will release new album ‘The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1' on 18th July 2025 via Mercury Records.
The project of Los Angeles-based songwriter, musician and visual artist Ben Schneider, Lord Huron has also released new single ‘Looking Back'. It's the latest teaser from the album following ‘Who Laughs Last' and ‘Nothing I Need‘.
‘The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1' is Lord Huron's fifth album. It was written and co-produced by Schneider, and it features band members Tom Renaud, Mark Barry and Miguel Briseño, and a host of collaborators, including actress Kristen Stewart (on ‘Who Laughs Last') and Blonde Redhead’s Kazu Makino (on ‘Fire Eternal'). The album title references the mysterious machine featured on the cover art. Schneider asks: “What if you could choose your fate like choosing a song on a jukebox? What if your finger slipped and you got the B-side instead? What if you misunderstood the meaning of the dang song to begin with?”
Expanding on the theme of ‘Looking Back', Schneider notes, “The weight of your past can distort your present and future, the way massive celestial objects warp the fabric of the universe. Like a bowling ball on a trampoline. This song wonders if it’s possible to let go, or if looking back is a fundamental law of existence.”
Later this month, Lord Huron kicks off an entirely sold-out spring tour in celebration of the 10th anniversary of their beloved album ‘Strange Trails'. Then beginning this summer, they embark on their biggest headline tour to date, hitting landmark venues including Madison Square Garden in New York City and Kia Forum in Los Angeles. Select performances feature support from Waxahatchee, Feist, Kevin Morby and more.
