"I think I wrote 'Enough of Our Machines' back in early 2010, so it's been with me for a while. In some ways this is my favorite track on Lanterns, probably because my emotional and analytical sides are both in full effect. Here's a bit about the geekery...

The tangled arpeggios are a combination of string bow attacks (with the notes cut off), synth, and octave-dropped banjo. The feeling is mechanical, but the de-tuned banjo gives everything a broken or unsettled quality; it's rhythmically offset from the others, and separates itself by way of an independent deceleration before each harmonic change. A trio of pizzicato strings occasionally do the same, cascading at various rates of ritardando. Eventually, the piano chords from the opening return atop the arpeggios in a weird, swung hemiola (two-against-three) pattern against the pulse. The unpredictable quality of the piece eventually peaks and crumbles and yields to a simpler instrumentation and a warmer harmonic environment. A repeated melodic gesture, a variant of the string melody heard earlier, tries and tries again at different pitch levels. 'I'm asking you to take… I'm asking you to take…'" - Ryan Lott

Remedy, Surging Sea

From the start, Son Lux has operated as something akin to a sonic test kitchen. The band strives to question deeply held assumptions about how music is made and re-construct it from a molecular level. What began as a solo project for founder Ryan Lott expanded in 2014, thanks to a kinship with Ian Chang and Rafiq Bhatia too strong to ignore. The trio strengthened their chemistry and honed their collective intuition while creating, releasing, and touring five recordings, including LPs Bones (2015) and Brighter Wounds (2018). A carefully cultivated musical language rooted in curiosity and balancing opposites largely eschews genre and structural conventions. And yet, the band remains audibly indebted to iconoclastic artists in soul, hip-hop, and experimental improvisation who themselves carved new paths forward. Distilling these varied influences, Son Lux searches for equilibrium of raw emotional intimacy and meticulous electronic constructions.
