SOUND & COLOR: THE ALBUMS, 2015.


22/son lux/bones

Bones begins with a simple request:

"Close your eyes... Swallow the Sun..."

What follows is a spiritual & meditative like walk led by Ryan Lott & company where we & they are given the space to take stock of all that is around us and make sense of our place in this world. Bones is peace. And it is cathartic. An emotional release that is present in every single musical note that comprises this 40 minute quest for clarity & rejuvenation. It is skeletal and primal, generating so much heft with just the basics: drum & bass + plaintive vocals and majestic harmonies that reach far and wide and soar. It’s the raising of your hands to the heavens. A flicker of light in a darkened room. The coming of the sun when the rain has gone. It is quietly powerful and often soft spoken, but it is by no means meek. Close your eyes, swallow the sun, breathe it in.
