SON LUX (London Rough Trade East, 07/08/15)



Usually I don't review in-stores, but Son Lux truly is something special. From their unusual sound- a hybrid of trip-hop, R&B and indie-rock, to their strange, poised energy their live performances are some of the most spine-tinglingly brilliant I've seen over the last few years. And whilst you might get the impression from their albums that Ryan Lott may be somewhat of an unapproachable, humourless type, on stage he's quite the opposite- down-to-earth and appreciative of even this modest audience. They deserve to be much bigger.
