LA's Lord Huron returns just in time to let a little sunshine into our grey and rainy November days with his new Mighty EP, the second output after June's much acclaimed debut Into The Sun. My favorite song of the four track piece is Son of a Gun, a summery tune composed of rhythmic guitar chords and Lord Huron's signature vocal harmonies, a hazy production that instantly leaves you with warming memories of this summer which now, somehow suddenly, already lies in the past.
Though slow-burning, the song's complex arrangement subtly builds tension along its way - without slipping into lazy namedropping, it is rather obvious that Lord Huron gets a considerable amount of inspiration from the predominating musical trends of the last two years, but unlike so many contemporaries the outfit's incredible talent results in the creation of freshly sounding, gorgeous little masterpieces nonetheless.
The whole Mighty EP is available for a very reasonable amount of money via Lord Huron's bandcamp.
