Its songs are pretty conspiratorial, but I love that. Hanna Benn)," because it sounds like has instruments you'd find in a marching band, and I just did marching band last fall. When I saw that this existed, I wasn't sure about it - I don't really like Bones, so I wasn't sure I'd like this one. Stranger Forms: Another self-remixed EP, this one of the album Bones. I usually only hear the songs when they show up in shuffle. I like some of the songs a lot, like "Undone" and "Now I Want," but the entire album in general isn't usually on my radar. I just love how Lott can take a tune or a motif and then create multiple songs out of them, with different instruments and sometimes even, like in the case with "Pyre" and "Build a Pyre (Begin Again)," different moods.īones: This was the first album with Bhatia and Chang. It wasn't the first time - he has at least three different versions of "Weapons" - but it was the first time I heard. I don't know why that's so cool to me, but it is. I love this EP, because Ryan Lott remixed four of his own songs from the Lanterns album.
Well, this EP was my first exposure to Son Lux period ("Easy (feat. The songs have a lot of different tones, from the soft lullaby of "Lanterns Lit" to the upbeat "No Crimes."Īlternate Worlds: I said Lanterns was my first Son Lux album. Lanterns: This was my first Son Lux album, and it's the first thing I think of when you say "Son Lux." This album defines Son Lux, in my opinion. The style is still older, but not bad older the way AWWM kind of is. The songs seem to outline a story about a medieval fantasy rebellion. We Are Rising: This album has such a pretty, laidback tone. This album also has the original "Weapons," which is legendary in my mind because it was the start of the glorious Weapons motif that I love so much. But I still listen to some songs from AWWM, because they're classic Son Lux. The songs go on forever, and there's pretty much only one phrase repeated the whole time (or a couple variations on a phrase). Note: There are some remixed albums I don't know much about, so I'm just focusing on the main albums and a couple of the remix albums.Īt War with Walls and Mazes: This was the very first Son Lux album (published in 2008). you'll find and album or two that you like ~if you don't like the first or even first five songs you hear, don't write him off ~"Labor," "Slowly," and "Aquatic" from the album Brighter Wounds
~"Ransom," "Enough of Our Machines", and "Lanterns Lit" from the album Lanterns ~"Flickers," "Flowers," and "Rebuild" from the album Rising if you want softer songs that won't make your adrenaline spike, try these when I'm overstimulated by sound, listening to Bones, At War with Walls and Mazes, and/or Remedy is a bad idea
~he has some brash sounds that may be a turn-off it's organized chaos, but it takes a while before you can get a sense of the structure
