Son Lux - Lanterns

Review by Matt Langham

Lanterns a record of true poise.»

Buy now from:

Meditative but heaving with energy, Son Lux's third full-length weaves disparate elements into songs both strange and welcoming. Equal parts producer and composer, Son Lux (aka Ryan Lott) bridges an unusual gap between old-world music theory and next-level experimentation. Meditative but heaving with energy, 'Lanterns' finds a peculiar congruency between futuristic soul and ancient sentiment. Driving orchestral electronica (Lost It To Trying, No Crimes) is placed alongside creepy minimalism (Pyre), often starkly juxtaposing densely layered arrangements with Lott's fragile voice.
