Just found this yesterday, & I am in love with this music.
Lord Huron is based out of Los Angeles, CA (but is originally from Michigan). It's the alias for Ben Schneider, a one-man band in the studio (but not live, of course). The name comes out of his childhood summers, when he would spend time in the north of Michigan on Lake Huron. Years later, he spent a week's vacation there with some gear, his old guitar, & some songs; three of these songs came together & formed the "Into the Sun" EP [ind.; 2010]. Lord Huron also released a second EP later in the year, - "Mighty" - this one on Nov. 2nd, 2010. Since the music's been written, he/they've played SXSW & this year's Lollapalooza. This song is from "Mighty".

Also: you can download both "Into the Sun" & "Mighty" for FREE from Noisetrade (though, I'm not sure if it's limited time or not... so get it now!)
