SON LUX

– ANNOUNCE ‘STRANGER FORMS EP’ FOR JUNE 17 RELEASE
– DELVE INTO HYPER-REALITY WITH VIDEO FOR ‘CAGE OF BONES’
– EUROPEAN FESTIVALS INCLUDING SHOWS WITH
CONCERTGEBOUW ORCHESTRA

Son Lux have announced their upcoming release, the Stranger Forms EP, set to hit June 17th.

Stranger Forms is a complete reincarnation of six songs from 2015’s LP Bones. These reimagined songs are now seen from a different, often opposite perspective, continuing Son Lux’s tradition of turning existing material on its head (as 2014’s Alternate Worlds EP did with 2013’s Lanterns).

It includes appearances by sirens Olga Bell and Hanna Benn, plus an array of instrumentalists from across the musical spectrum.

Today they share a dark & enthralling video for the EP’s opening track “Cage of Bones” – a macabre reworking of one of Bones’ unsung treasures, Flight. The video is a bone-chilling narrative on society, technology & the void between humanity & artificial intelligence. Written & directed by Jean-Paul Frenay, the aesthetic is just as groundbreaking as Son Lux‘s latest music.

In addition to the “Cage of Bones” video, Son Lux have also shared “You Don’t Own Me” featuringHanna Benn on Stereogum here.

Son Lux launched their US tour with a sold-out show at the Masonic Lodge at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Days later, Mean Dreams, a feature film with a new score by Son Lux, premiered in Cannes Film Festival’s opening weekend. In June, the band will return to Europe to take on festival season, including performances with the 90-person Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, in the top three of all orchestras worldwide, as part of Holland Festival.
