Son Lux - Lanterns (SPECIAL EDITION) '2023

Tracks list

Meditative but heaving with energy, Lanterns finds a peculiar congruency between
futuristic soul and ancient sentiment. Driving orchestral pop (“Lost It To
Trying,” “No Crimes”) is placed alongside haunting minimalism
(“Pyre,” “Enough Of Our Machines”), often starkly
juxtaposing densely layered arrangements with Lott's intimate voice. Lanterns
came on the heels of Ryan’s s/s/s project (with Sufjan Stevens and
Serengeti), and his being named NPR's “Best New Artist of the Year.”
His third full-length album positioned him at the helm of an impressive ensemble
of instrumentalists and singers, 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).
The follow-up EP Alternate Worlds reimagined four songs from Lanterns, and
included a collaboration with Lorde. These exquisite reinventions traverse
unfamiliar terrain within remembered landscapes. Their world is both alien and
familiar. In 2023, Son Lux released Alternate Forms, a track-by-track reworking
of Lanterns in celebration of its 10th anniversary.
