Jun 23, 2015By expanding its sound and not playing it safe, Son Lux has all but stepped into another dimension with this album.
-
Jun 22, 2015Bones is inventive, unsettling, imposing, and utterly arresting.
-
Jun 18, 2015Son Lux veers away from the straight forward and chooses to make records as wonderfully complex as Bones.
-
Jun 16, 2015Pretentious, yes, but wonderful.
-
Jun 16, 2015Bones is a remarkable, chameleonic entity.
-
Jun 23, 2015Son Lux’s avant-pop has always leaned more heavily on avant than pop, and Bones is probably too skittery for a breakout commercial hit (though “Change is Everything” could be a dark horse).

Jun 16, 2015Son Lux's remix value is through the roof, settling nicely along the lines of Purity Ring's debut, The xx, or even some of Thom Yorke's solo tracks. That said, each of these examples are revered, but not lived up to.
