But I’ll admit that I’m a sucker for album-spanning narratives that don’t spell out all the plot elements and characters verbatim, but that hint at a greater story being woven together which only exists in the mind of the writer. Basing an album around an entirely fictional narrative that the audience is supposed to pretend is real with a wink an a nod is nothing new – we’ve had plenty of clever songwriters pitching their records as soundtracks to movie that never existed, and Garth Brooks even did the whole “Chris Gaines” thing that one time. The high-concept shenanigans weren’t really the thing that got me hooked on Lord Huron, though they certainly helped to seal the deal.
