Incomparable
We humans can't seem to help ourselves - we're compelled, for some reason, to compare things to other things.
For example, Lord Huron was still wet behind the ears when music critics started scrambling to identify the band's musical soulmates - Fleet Foxes, the Lumineers, Bon Iver ...?
Finally, the folks at the music blog UpToHear have acknowledged that such comparisons add up to an exercise in futility. It's not that the Bubs are more, or less, talented than other bands. Let's just say LH is unique and let it go at that. Here's part of what the UpToHear blogger wrote:
"Finding artists similar to Lord Huron is one of the hardest things we’ve ever tried to do. The usual Google searches tend to recycle the same handful of names: Gregory Alan Isakov, Fleet Foxes, The Decemberists… And we love these artists, but we prefer to venture beyond the algorithm.
"Most 'artists like' articles assume every musician has a dozen obvious peers waiting in the wings. Lord Huron is different. We will not even attempt to corral them into a specific genre; it’s a vibe. It’s cinematic storytelling at its very finest. It’s a fascination with the natural world translated into album form. The obvious truth: nobody truly sounds like them ..."
Exactly!
