New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Welcoming friends into the mysterious embrace of Whispering Pines Studios today,
Lord Huron uncover a new single entitled "I Lied" [feat.
Allison Ponthier]. It's the latest tune to be shared from their anxiously awaited fourth full-length album, LONG LOST, out May 21 via Whispering Pines Studios Inc./Republic Records/Universal Music.
Conjuring the ghosts of early sixties country and old school AM radio bliss all at once, "I Lied" unfurls as a heartbreakingly dreamy duet upheld by the interplay of Texas-born siren
Allison Ponthier and Lord Huron. Awash in soft acoustic guitars and ethereal slide, it slips into a gripping hypnotic harmony punctuated by the trepidation of a breakup.
Today the band has also announced a Fall 2021 headline tour, their first shows in support of Long Lost. The tour kicks off in Philadelphia on
September 9th and hits a variety of outdoor venues in New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Seattle, Portland and other markets across the country with
Allison Ponthier opening on select dates. See full list of tour dates below. Tickets are on sale to the public starting Friday, May 7th (or via Spotify Fan First presale on May 5th). Visit www.lordhuron.com for more info and ticket links.
