  3. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    Where a band like Mumford & Sons abandoned ship from their beginnings to a mixed result, it sounds like Lord Huron have managed to evolve forward incorporating electric elements in a major way without forfeiting any kind of integrity

  5. 7.2 |   Earbuddy

    It’s very likable. It’s almost too easy to love. Pieces of it are so familiar, a representation of modern popular music with just enough fancy production to make it sound different

  7. 7.0 |   musicOMH

    Some may find it all a bit too intense, while long-term fans may be put off by the departure of their earlier, more pastoral sound. However, their ambition cannot be faulted, and when it comes time to look back on the band’s career, Vide Noir could be seen as a pivotal moment

  9. 6.0 |   Uncut

    Vide Noir unspools with cinematic seamlessness, as quicksilver psychedelic buffers bridge its 12 tracks, which shift between folk, country and heartland rock. Print edition only

  10. 5.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    Lord Huron seems to be staring up from that campfire into an unanswering sky
