Last week, Lord Huron — the L.A.-based band helmed by native Michigander Ben Schneider — released a short teaser video (but precious little other info) for their new album “Strange Trails.” Schneider and company won hearts and minds with the cinematic folk music on their Western-flavored debut “Lonesome Dreams” in 2012, but beyond the teaser and some recently posted single artwork, Lord Huron had been playing it close to the vest. Today, however, the band unveiled a full song from the new album; “The Night We Met” is a shimmering ballad of regret in which Schneider sings “Don’t know what I’m supposed to do / Haunted by the ghost of you.” It’s almost too beautiful to be a free download, but it is. Meanwhile, there’s still no date announced for the release of “Strange Trails.” Updated Feb. 9: “Strange Trails” will be out April 7.
