Son Lux began as the solo project of American musician and composer Ryan Lott in 2007. His debut album, “At War with Walls & Mazes,” was released in March 2007. Following this release, NPR recognized Son Lux as “Best New Artist” on their program “All Songs Considered.” Lott released his second album, “We Are Rising,” in May 2011, which was recorded during the RPM Challenge. Son Lux then signed with Joyful Noise Recordings in May 2013, releasing the album “Lanterns” in October 2013. The lead single “Lost It To Trying” was named one of Pitchfork’s Best New Tracks. In 2014, Son Lux released the EP “Alternate Worlds,” which included re-imagined songs from “Lanterns,” featuring a version of “Easy” with vocals from Lorde. Glassnote Records signed Son Lux worldwide in the same year. Lott also composed the score for the 2014 film “The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby.”

A three-part series of EPs titled “Tomorrows” was released between 2020 and 2021. In 2022, Son Lux composed the musical score for the film “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” The 49-track soundtrack featured collaborations with artists such as Mitski, David Byrne, Randy Newman, André 3000, and Moses Sumney. This score received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 95th Academy Awards.
