Son Lux is an experimental band that has been bending the boundaries of genre since its inception as the solo project of Ryan Lott in 2008. Based in New York, the project gained momentum and evolved into a dynamic trio with the addition of guitarist and composer Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang in 2015. Known for their unique blend of electronic complexity, orchestral flourishes, and unconventional song structures, Son Lux creates a distinctive sound that defies easy classification, often described as post-rock or alternative with an electronic edge.

The band's discography is a testament to their evolution and willingness to explore new sonic territories. Their 2013 release "Lanterns" marked a significant milestone, later given a special edition that further showcased their textured musical landscapes. The subsequent release of tracks like "Lanterns Lit" revealed their capability to create cinematic and emotive soundscapes, a skill further honed in their work for the soundtrack of the critically acclaimed film "Everything Everywhere All at Once," including songs like "Fence" and "This Is A Life." Projects like "Tomorrows Reworks" and releases such as "Tomorrows III" continue to push their sound into new realms, featuring collaborations with artists like Kimbra. With each release, Son Lux reaffirms their position as forward-thinking artists who continue to redefine the future of music through their innovative compositions and collaborative spirit.
