In Alive From Whispering Pines season 35, Lord Huron are recording in Tubbs Tarbell's Whispering Pines Studios as themselves.

In the music video for " The World Ender," Lord Huron are on screen on the television in the Frozen Pines Motel, possibly as the Buck Vernon Band or the Phantom Riders. Lord Huron appear in the " Fool for Love" music video, credited as the Buck Vernon Band. The band consists of Ben Schneider (lead vocals, guitar), Mark Barry (percussion, vocals), Miguel Briseño (bass, keyboard, theremin, percussion), and Tom Renaud (guitar, vocals). 1 Description and appearances in universe Lord Huron is an American band who frequently cover the songs of characters in their fictional universe, such as Frankie Lou, Leigh Green, Buck Vernon, and The Phantom Riders.Their albums have broad and sometimes intertwined story arcs, which are "intended to be fragmentary, non-chronological and in some ways confounding." Lonesome Dreams and Strange Trails "exist within the same world, but they are separated by time, location and different characters." On Strange Trails, Vide Noir, and Long Lost there are some characters who are present for more than one album. Beyond music, there’s art to look at, there’s videos to watch, there’s other ways to engage and live inside universe if you can." But there are all these other elements that you can kind of dig deeper and get into if you’re so inclined. Schneider has said in an interview: "if you want to enjoy the music, that’s cool. Schneider has a visual arts background and the body of media Lord Huron produces ranges from music and visual art, to video and film, comic book concepts and fictional novels, as well as alternate reality game elements. It was originally a solo project by Schneider, who created two EPs in 2010 before forming the band. While it's a pleasant enough listen, the entire album falls short of the potential opulence hinted at by its best tracks.Lord Huron is an American band who frequently cover the songs of characters in their fictional universe, such as Frankie Lou, Leigh Green, Buck Vernon, and The Phantom Riders. Unfortunately, the album is heavier on Western atmosphere and manicured harmonies than it is inspired hooks. While Lonesome Dreams paints its sound in broad, thoughtful strokes, it's at its best when the arrangements meet up with hooks. Rarely do the two worlds meet in the middle as well as they do on "Time to Run," though mellower tracks like "Ghost on the Shore" and "In the Wind" create more space for the album's softer intricacies. Schneider's affected vocals muddy the waters some as well, taking down some of the album's plentiful bright melodies with a heavy mountain-man accent. Somewhere between the feral experimentation of freak folk, the sunny polyrhythms, and the obligatory references to rocks and trees that come with soul-searching folk-informed indie rock like this, Lord Huron either sound like brilliantly happy tropical indie rock (as on "The Man Who Lives Forever") or under-produced young country (as with the hokey title track). Being of several minds like this is the crux of Lonesome Dreams.

The song is beyond catchy and beyond happy, bounding along ecstatically between huge choruses, friendly verses, and experimental found sound breakdowns. However, as soon as the song fades out, "Time to Run" begins with watery field recordings of bells and washy synth tones before bursting into a jubilant slice of acoustic pop owing equal parts to Animal Collective's happy-go-lucky freaked sounds and Paul Simon's Afro-pop-borrowing optimism. The searching harmonies and overblown pondering of nature don't help. As well constructed as the song is, it follows so closely the open-ended indie folk style of Fleet Foxes, My Morning Jacket, and the like that it comes off as a pretty blatant ripoff and little else. The album opens with "Ends of the Earth," a jaunty and triumphant song filled with imagery of rivers, mountains, and arid desertscapes. The wide-open pastoral feel of the album seems designed to calm the ongoing argument happening with Schneider's songwriting sensibilities, which seem conflicted between jubilant indie pop wanderlust and stoic traditionally structured Americana. Following two low-profile EPs, Lonesome Dreams is the debut from Michigan-born/Los Angeles-based sound sculptor Ben Schneider and his band Lord Huron.
