LIVESTREAM SON LUX

He – Son Lux, or rather Ryan Lott - is a friend of indie-folk favourite Sufjan Stevens. He is a classically trained composer and already released two previously unnoticed albums on the avant-hop label Anticon. But with ‘Lanterns’ he's approaching things differently. As in: in the seeming certainty of landing a spot on many trend-setting 'end-of-year charts'. The music owes a debt to his buddy Sufjan Stevens. It sounds intimate but theatrical at the same time too, sometimes even grandiose.
De Standaard wrote of it: “Lott beschikt op ‘Lanterns’ over de frisse experimenteerdrift van Beck. Als hij zingt, hoor je geestes -en generatiegenoten als Conor Oberst van Bright Eyes en Conor O’Brien van Villagers. Hij mixt folk met elektronica en barokke klassieke strijkerssecties met hiphopbeats. Son Lux klinkt onvoorstelbaar gesofisticeerd. Buiten categorie, als het ware.”

Personally approved by Son Lux: Sunday Bell Ringers, from Belgium. Or: the contrary brainchild of Joeri Cnapelinckx (see too: Tommigun, De Anale Fase,...) who will soon be releasing his second album on the now famous Zealrecords (see too: Isbells, Few Bits,...).
