Son Lux - Brighter Wounds (2018) [16.44 FLAC] Genres: Rock, Electronic Styles: Indie Electronic, Alternative Source: CD (log + cue) Codec: FLAC Bit rate: ~ 1,000 kbps Bit depth: 16 Sample rate: 44.1 kHz 01 Forty Screams 02 Dream State 03 Labor 04 The Fool You Need 05 Slowly 06 All Directions 07 Aquatic 08 Surrounded 09 Young 10 Resurrection Their debut for the City Slang label, Brighter Wounds is fifth album overall for Son Lux, formerly the solo project of ghostly voiced pianist, composer, and timbre manipulator Ryan Lott. By the time they wrote and recorded 2015's Bones, Son Lux had expanded into a collaborative trio with guitarist/composer Rafiq Bhatia and drummer Ian Chang, both fellow sound manipulators. Unlike Bones, an audacious production with universal themes, Brighter Wounds was heavily influenced by personal loss and the birth of Lott's first child, in addition to the 2016 presidential election. A more intimate and -- at least relatively speaking -- quieter album, it still features the percussiveness and manipulated acoustic palette that, along with Lott's raspy vocal delivery, make Son Lux's sound so distinctive. Add to that Chang's hyper-irregular style, which is more prominent here, as well as the presence of collaborators such as chamber group yMusic and trumpeter Dave Douglas, and Brighter Wounds still feels explosive. A song that Lott has said addresses the potential reality-distorting comfort to be found in lies, "Slowly" plays like a sultry soul ballad, one peppered with warped sounds, unexpected silences, and rhythms that slide out of alignment with strict timekeeping. The softer, half-murmured "Aquatic" relies on echoing piano chords and viola. It's one of a handful of songs here that contain samples, mostly of other Lott-yMusic collaborations
