Reminiscence of Miike Snow rushing through me right now. This is also about as close to Flume's sound as I'll go near these days.
Brighter Wounds, Son Lux's 2018 album, has been up to this point an enjoyable listen, meaning that I've made it as far...

Right on the heels of their newly release Bones, Son Lux brings us multiple mixes of one of the album’s greatest singles, "Undone."
One of the new versions, titled "Redone," is potentially the most grandiose song we have ever heard from Son Lux. Tot...

Ahhhh, new Son Lux... like a breath of fresh air in a smoggy city of overused sampling techniques and consistent rhythm signatures.
Son Lux, formerly just composer Ryan Lott but now joined by his touring guitarist and drummer, has gained a reputatio...

Everyone and their mother is probably sick of Lorde right now, but this new collaboration with Son Lux is a clear indication that she's no talent to be dismissed.While I haven't witnessed it myself, rumor has it that Lorde has been covering Son Lux d...

If you're looking for something to wake you up, I'm pretty sure Son Lux's "Lost It To Trying" will do the trick.The hyperactive drums give off an obscure sound as the many different synths act as a bass and layers of bursting atmospheric tones. The h...
