Founded by Ryan Lott, Son Lux began as a solo exploration of the jagged, icy line between the strange and the familiar, in which sonic structures supplant the conventions of pop form. Since the beginning, though, the name has taken on myriad meanings, just as the work has subsumed sounds and collaborators. With Bones, Son Lux became a band. A trio, to be exact: one that has meticulously woven together dizzying percussion, fraying guitar, symphonic bluster, and haunting vocals into a quaking and vivid post-pop (post-everything) burst. The fourth Son Lux LP combines all of the architectural precision and aural inventiveness we've come to expect, with more immediacy and melody than ever thanks to the additions of guitarist-composer Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang. Bones is a call to action, a document of personal and collective uprising. Themes of metamorphosis resonate in architectural, vivid sound.

Stranger Forms, the follow-up EP to Bones, features familiar and alien reimaginings of the album’s material.
