About HURON LINES:
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 approach, while bassist RJ Brando imposes 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.
HURON LINES’ bandleader Dave Mueller fronted notable Windsor post-punk/noise outfit Full White Drag in the 00's, touring North America and releasing music with Inner Flight Records, before taking residency in New York City to record with producer Shane Stoneback (Vampire Weekend, Cults, Fucked Up) and musical mentor Scott McCloud (of Girls Against Boys and Soulside).
Returning to his hometown, Mueller recruited a group of celebrated local musicians to release an album for a project called Club Thunderbolt. Recorded by Chris Koltay (My Morning Jacket, Bars of Gold) in Detroit, the 2013 LP titled City of Salt enjoyed chart success on Canadian campus radio while receiving national attention across publications like Exclaim!, who called it "a mature and instinct-driven album from a band experienced enough to bare their chops".
Now paired down and featuring former contributors to the Club Thunderbolt project but with a renewed focus and with a new name, the line up consists of David Mueller on vocals/guitar, Grainger Harris (Silent Movie Type) on guitar/backup vocals, RJ Brando (Silent Movie Type, Grough) on bass, and Nick Mitchell (Godhead, Spine) on drums, LOST AT THE BORDER shows the quartet releasing the best music of their respective musical careers—pulling gracefully and forcefully from post-punk, shoegaze, garage rock, and sludge metal, all the while leaving the listener with something that could only have be birthed amongst the shadows of the Motor City.
LYRICS
I’m older now
But i was wiser then
About a couple of lies
That are stuck in my head
You see my get up and go
It’s gone and it’s dead
But if i wanted to
I could start again
Start again
Oh now oh now oh now believe me
White shirts, collars, black ties deceive me
I’m so undone
By the songs left unsung
Oh now oh now i can’t escape me
I don’t know if this one will save me
I can’t pretend
So i’ll just start again
start again
start again
oh now oh now oh now my lady
now i know what’s driving you crazy
but i’m fighting thru
all the way back to you
I’m older now
But i was wiser then
And if wanted to
I could start again
Start again
