Lanterns - Vinyle Transparent

Description

Both producer and composer, Son Lux (aka Ryan Lott) bridges an unusual gap between old-world music theory and high-wire experimentation. Meditative yet bursting with energy, *Lanterns* (2013) finds particular congruence between futuristic soul and traditional emotions. Orchestral electro (Lost It To Trying, No Crimes) rubs shoulders with angst-ridden minimalism (Pyre), often brutally juxtaposing dense, layered arrangements with Ryan’s fragile vocals. His third album, and first for Joyful Noise (Kishi Bashi, Sebadoh, etc.), *Lanterns* places Son Lux at the helm of an impressive ensemble of instrumentalists and vocalists, including Chris Thile (The Punch Brothers), Peter Silberman (The Antlers), DM Stith, Lily & Madeleine, Darren King (Mutemath), Ieva Berberian (Gem Club) and yMusic (Dirty Projectors, Bon Iver). Son Lux notably composed the soundtrack to the hit film *Everything Everywhere All At Once* (2022). Pressed on clear vinyl.
