Son Lux, an experimental music project, is known for its unique sound blending post-rock and electronica, and has expanded from a solo endeavor to a trio recognized for film scoring and diverse collaborations. After the March 2007 release of their debut album ‘At War with Walls & Mazes,’ Son Lux, the experimental music project led by composer Ryan Lott, quickly gained critical acclaim, with NPR recognizing them as ‘Best New Artist’ on ‘All Songs Considered’ in 2008. The project continued with its second album, ‘We Are Rising,’ in May 2011. Signing with Joyful Noise Recordings in May 2013, Son Lux released ‘Lanterns’ in October, whose lead single, ‘Lost It To Trying,’ was named one of Pitchfork’s Best New Tracks.
Son Lux reached new heights in 2022 by composing the highly acclaimed score for the A24 film, ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once.’ The 49-track soundtrack garnered widespread praise for its innovative genre blend and featured collaborations with esteemed artists such as Mitski, David Byrne, Randy Newman, André 3000, and Moses Sumney. This significant work earned Son Lux an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Score at the 95th Academy Awards in 2023, solidifying their reputation as a formidable force in film composition. Building on film scoring and innovative music production success, Son Lux announced a two-year musical partnership with the renowned Bluecoats in 2024. The trio is also set to compose the score for the highly anticipated Marvel Studios film ‘Thunderbolts’, slated for release in 2025, further expanding their footprint in major motion picture productions and showcasing continued demand for high-profile projects.
