Son Lux

Centered on composer/keyboardist/vocalist Ryan Lott, Son Lux is an experimental post-rock trio featuring guitarist Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang. Combining live instruments with computer-manipulated acoustic performances, samples, and Lott's vocals, Son Lux's bold, dystopic sound often correlates with anxious lyrics about a fearful future. These seeds were planted on the group's off-kilter debut album, At War with Walls & Mazes, in 2008, while 2013's Lanterns featured songs that were later covered by Lorde and sampled by Fall Out Boy. The first Lott-Bhatia-Chang collaboration, 2015's Bones, marked the project's debut in the Top Ten of Billboard's dance/electronic albums chart. Son Lux's sixth album overall was the three-part concept record Tomorrows, the third installment of which arrived in 2021 and was followed by their Academy Award-nominated soundtrack to the acclaimed 2022 indie film Everything Everywhere All at Once. Following 2023's Alternate Forms, they scored Marvel's 2025 film Thunderbolts.
