With the title of the latest album illuminating the stage in script behind the musicians, wove a complex system of stories to the sold out on Wednesday.
Opening with “Until the Night Turns” off “Strange Trails” released in April, Lord Huron stuck mostly to the latest album on Wednesday. Feeling part retro, part nouveau Western, part something curious and elusive, the hour-long set included, “Dead Man’s Hand,” “Meet Me in the Woods,” “Frozen Pines,” “Way Out There” and “The World Ender.” Lord Huron continued the penchant for an eerie sound, working in echos and an electronic theremin.
“Denver’s always been good to us, even back in the early days at the Hi-Dive, dirtbagging it,” said frontman Ben Schneider, sporting a cherry red jacket and no trademark hat. He and his band formed as childhood buddies, and have gained polish with every swing through Denver. Schneider’s vocals hit a cold, off-key spot in “She Lit a Fire,” but for the most part rang true.
For the encore, Lord Huron wrapped the crowd in the heartbreaking lyrics from “The Night We Met,” singing, “I had all and then most of you, some and now none of you.” The band closed the night fittingly with “It’s Time to Run.”
Uber talented up-and-comer opened the show with cool, smooth throwback vocals, his doo wop reminiscent of ’60s soul. Suave in a throwback suit coat and hat, Texas-based Bridges announced that it was his first time in Colorado. Letap hope itap not his last.
