“2008 Best New Artist” - NPR’s All Songs Considered
“Son Lux is an absolute genius. That’s no small praise to start this off, but it’s as good of an entry point as any. I think…and I might be wrong…that this is the future of modern pop. And I welcome it.” – Shaun Bateman, Resonator Magazine
“Under the name Son Lux, composer Ryan Lott makes incredible songs in which his own repetitive, plainchantlike singing is laid over grids of electronic sounds. The results are sort of formless electro-lieder, but the formlessness is their winning feature. The songs dissolve and emerge like a whale breaching in slow motion.” – Nico Muhly, ARTFORUM
“The sound on this record is incredible. It’s cacophonous at times, stark, and sparkling other times.” - NPR
“Gorgeous and brave. The fact that an album such as AWWWM can exist is, to me, representative of our movement away from the ironies of indie emotions and the emotionally blasted landscapes.” – Nico Muhly, The Guardian
“Snippets of this, bites of that, filtering through the radio waves, pulsing orchestration, transcendent beauty, always the beauty shining through and pulling you up there with it. This really is something different, something special, something inspiring, challenging and most of all something to put on repeat and just simply enjoy again and again.” - Resonance FM
“Son Lux funnels classical know-how into profound modern art songs. Electronica, alt-hip-hop, chamberlike arrangements, spare piano pop and other diverse strains come together to form a striking, futuristic whole on At War with Walls & Mazes.” - Time Out NY
