Inspired by Lord Huron’s acclaimed 2018 concept album by the same name, Vide Noir stars Victor Mascitelli as a young man embarking on a surreal journey through a sprawling, neon-lit city in search of his missing fiancée (Ashleigh Cummings) who has become trapped in the heart of a drug ring for vide noir, a new experimental psychedelic. Lord Huron also scores the acid-drenched Neo-noir with original, unreleased music.
ABOUT LORD HURON
Lord Huron began performing as a band in August of 2010 and quickly began touring, developing their live show as they went. In November of 2010, a second EP, Mighty, was released, coupled with a video for the standout track “The Stranger.” The year 2011 was full of touring, with appearances at larger festivals like South by Southwest, Outside Lands, and Lollapalooza.
