Lord Huron are touring Europe in late summer 2025. On September 11, the US band will make a stop at Halle 622 in Zurich - their only appearance in Switzerland. The concert coincides with the release of the new album "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1", which gives hope for some new songs in the set.
For over ten years, Lord Huron have been cultivating a cinematic sound that combines Americana, retro pop and storytelling. On their fifth studio album "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1", which was released on July 18, this approach remains central, but is expanded by cosmic dimensions and psychedelic sounds.
Musically, the band expands its sound with psychedelic elements, vintage synths and spacey textures. The song "Watch Me Go", highlighted on social media, combines western melancholy with a sci-fi mood. Visually, "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1" harks back to the aesthetics of the 1950s - visible in the artwork, videos and typography.
In terms of content, "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1" moves between memories and emptiness, between ghosts of the past and the vastness of space. The central question is: What if you could choose your fate like a song on a jukebox?
The extent to which the new material will shape the tour remains to be seen. One thing is certain: Lord Huron remain one of the most independent voices in indie folk between poetic melancholy, cinematic production and well thought-out storytelling.
Lord Huron will be playing at Zurich's Halle 622 on September 11, and although no official album tour has been announced, the concert will take place immediately after the release of "The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1". New songs are therefore likely to find their way into the live set, complemented by well-known tracks such as "The Night We Met" or "Love Me Like You Used To".
The band is known for atmospheric live shows in which music, light and visual elements intertwine seamlessly. The setting in Zurich heralds an impressive evening of western romance, retro-futurism and narrative indie folk. Anyone looking for a musical journey with depth, concept and emotion is sure to get their money's worth.
