"oh darling, I've been waiting for you..."
Of the track, he shares:
“This song is derived from that feeling of being somewhere you don’t want to be but you have to be. Like sitting beside someone in a hospital bed waiting for them to wake up wondering if they ever will. While also wondering if you could have done something to change the situation. The feeling of being totally lost but knowing that there is only one place you can be in that moment.”
"Lost and Found" is from Huron Lines' debut 2021 album "Lost at The Border" (via Chieftown Music). Bridging heavy metal, garage rock, post punk with dashes of shoegaze and (to me) even tinges of grunge, Huron Lines' blend power with a longing dreaminess. The artful theater they create for their musical narration has hard edges but the poetry within "Lost and Found" speaks of an endless passion.
The Official Video as directed by Garth Jackson and shot at an undisclosed location in Essex County, Ontario Canada features a brooding Dave Mueller and a mysterious stranger (wink). Huron Lines is Mueller (vox, guitar), Grainger Harris (backing vox, guitar), RJ Brando (bass) and Nick Mitchell (drums).

Early thoughts on Huron Lines debut single Older Now - released March 19th, 2021:
“Huron Lines establish their sense of chemistry instantly, with their atmospheric yet gritty debut single.” - INDIE TOP 39, United Kingdom
“Really diggin’ this new track from Windsor’s Huron Lines – it’s solid grungy alt-rock with killer vocals and riffs, and was [mastered] at Third Man in Detroit.” - FROM THE STRAIT, Canada
“Dang! I love those vocals. I mean, the whole song is great but those vocals!!!!” - GIRL AT THE ROCK SHOWS, United States
“The gravelly vocals and loud/quiet dynamics should instantly throw you back to the grunge era, with some underlying post-punk instrumentals giving the track a decidedly modern spin.” - SOME PARTY, Canada
“Huron Lines [...] have acquired the chops to back up their pleas. The production is stark and clean. The mood of the [song] echoes 90s lesser-known alternative acts. The vocal tone is good and feels weighed down by the burdens of the world—a very strong start from the Canadian quartet.” - ALT 77, Romania

SHORT BIO
By: Daniel Sylvester, Exclaim! (Canada)
As anyone who’s gazed northbound down the barren downtown strip of Ouellette Avenue knows, the presence of Detroit looms large across Windsor, Ontario.
For the inhabitants of Canada’s most southern city, Detroit’s crumbling art deco skyline has become a symbol of identity and pride, as Windsorites are fed a steady diet of culture as local television, and terrestrial, public, and college radio are broadcasted across the emerald Detroit River, visual artists share residency across the border, and (prior to COVID 19) access to sporting events, concerts, and music festivals are merely separated by a short trip through the Windsor/Detroit tunnel.
For the four members of HURON LINES, Detroit has always been an integral part of their sound, aesthetic, and their anything-goes approach to making music.
LOST AT THE BORDER, the debut album from HURON LINES is a direct result of the eclectic and adventurous nature of the scene they grew up with. Across eight tracks and 30 minutes, vocalist/guitarist Dave Mueller’s beautifully dusty delivery shapes the powerful but yearning “Lost in Sarnia”, while bassist RJ Brando helps give “Lonely Lover” an anthemic feel due to his soaring backup vocals. Guitarist Grainger Harris and Drummer Nick Mitchell keep the angular twin guitar attack moving forward, adding lush leads on top of a gutteral groove-filled backbeat to album highlights “Older Now” and “Ready Fire Aim”.
LOST AT THE BORDER, recorded in Windsor by Joshua Kaiser (Psychic Void, Flower Face) and mastered by Bill Skibbe (Jack White, The Kills) at Third Man Mastering in Detroit, shows the quartet releasing the best music of their respective musical careers—pulling gracefully and forcefully from post-punk, shoegaze, garage rock, and even sludge metal, all the while leaving the listener with something that could only have be birthed amongst the shadows of the Motor City.
