gmoney Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Son Lux, the brain child of beat wizard Ryan Lott, is back as an official trio, with a new album and a new song. The album is called Bones and was co-written and recorded by Lott with drummer Ian Chang and guitarist Rafiq Bhatia. The first single from the album, "Change Is Everything," is vintage Son Lux, with a startling mix of chopped up rhythms and sonic curiosities set against lyrics that are both grand and minimal. Bones is due out June 23 on Glassnote records. http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2015/03/25/395123770/son-lux-new-album-new-song Amazon pre-order: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VBES9GQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00VBES9GQ&linkCode=as2&tag=kersjour-20&linkId=HAP7WNPPO5DYIOV4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Additionally - I asked him about a physical release of Eleanor Rigby two nights ago and he said nothing planned for now. He said licensing on the soundtrack side of things is just a beast that he isn't going to deal with now. He's always very focused on the current project, so don't expect it anytime soon.

SpazzyMcGee Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Ohhhhh yeaaaaaa Loved Lanterns Edit: goosebumps from listening. Also, sounds like it could flow into another track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mameeshkamowskwoz Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Lanterns was the best thing I heard in 2013 so I'm pumped for this.Seeing him Friday night in Raleigh, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fridge Fox Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 New song was a bit disappointing for me. Live with Rafiq and Ian, the music was very different from the record. in a good way. so much crazy experimental stuff. lots of improvisation. this new song has no apparent presence of real drums or guitar (though there's probably guitar with some weird modulation going on) . I'm not going to base the whole album off the first song I hear but I was expecting a much different direction based on the live show and the conversation I had with Ryan about the new writing direction. 74R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's replied to a few facebook inquiries that a very limit vinyl press might happen at some point. I personally liked the soundtrack more than most of his other work so I would be very excited if it eventually does happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backpackoat Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 This leaked. Pretty great, this is gonna be an excellent soundtrack for those sweaty summer nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmoney Posted June 1, 2015 Author Share Posted June 1, 2015 I was nervous for this because of the quick album turnaround and with the soundtrack even in between. That said, this is excellent. Maybe his best yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fridge Fox Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I checked it out and Idk what's wrong with me, but ever since I saw these guys live last year, I really only enjoy Walls&Mazes and We Are Rising. Darn expectations had me expecting something different than this new album. Maybe it will grow on me. It's not bad and it still sounds like Son Lux. I just can't get over how great the live experience was vs studio recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoneyFrosted Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Managed to buy a clear Bones on discogs for $18 ppd. Waiting to celebrate until it gets here and I take a look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toomanyrecords Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Managed to buy a clear Bones on discogs for $18 ppd. Waiting to celebrate until it gets here and I take a look at it. Jumped at it too. There's one more left, ya'll! Although collectors-choice on discogs seems to be one of those sellers who are like "WE CAN'T CONFIRM COLOR OF VINYL" and only list it under the color vinyl listing. There is no black vinyl listing for Bones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
