From the start, Son Lux has operated as something akin to a sonic test kitchen. The Academy Award® and BAFTA-nominated band strives to question deeply held assumptions about how music is made and reconstruct it from a molecular level. What began as a solo project for founder <a href="spotify:artist:0rLLyTr5rx0qYKb63MdVW9" data-name="Ryan Lott">Ryan Lott</a> expanded in 2014, thanks to a kinship with <a href="spotify:artist:4nxKL1oZc0tYGkELxf2e1u" data-name="Ian Chang">Ian Chang</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:29uBPqNiTiQxmLadKstqWP" data-name="Rafiq Bhatia">Rafiq Bhatia</a> too strong to ignore. The trio strengthened their chemistry and honed their collective intuition while creating, releasing, and touring six recordings, including <a href="spotify:album:6fbI3F22B27FExsRlIYqtw" data-name="Brighter Wounds">Brighter Wounds</a> (2018) and triple album Tomorrows (2021). The result is a carefully cultivated musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites that largely eschews genre and structural conventions. And yet, the band remains audibly indebted to iconoclastic artists in soul, hip-hop, and experimental improvisation who themselves carved new paths forward.

Distilling these varied influences, Son Lux searches for equilibrium of raw emotional intimacy and meticulous electronic constructions. Son Lux scored A24’s Best Picture winner Everything Everywhere All at Once for which they were nominated for two Academy Awards and a BAFTA. The full score album features new collaborations with <a href="spotify:artist:2uYWxilOVlUdk4oV9DvwqK" data-name="Mitski">Mitski</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:20vuBdFblWUo2FCOvUzusB" data-name="David Byrne">David Byrne</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3HQyFCFFfJO3KKBlUfZsyW" data-name="Randy Newman">Randy Newman</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:5W10uJRsbt9bROJDKoI1Wn" data-name="Moses Sumney">Moses Sumney</a>, among others. Their latest film venture is for Marvel Studios, scoring 2025’s highly anticipated Thunderbolts*.
