Video: Son Lux - "Easy"

Easy” is one of many highlights from Son Lux’s 2013 album Lanterns, I believe it appears on either our first or second edition of the Onomatopoeia Playlist Series so you know I’m a fan. Director David Terry Fine’s video keeps things moody and dark for the tasteful sorta NSFW video.

Listen: Baths – “Disorderly”

Was it a coincidence that I shared some exclusive Baths remix work earlier in the week, after all Will Wiesenfeld hasn't been in the spotlight for most of 2014 and yet here we are with two stories relating to the Anticon artist in a matter of days, this time in the form of some original new work.

The Los Angeles imprint Friends of Friends have teamed up with Vans OTW for a new five-song EP called What's Good Los Angeles?. It features tracks from Dâm-Funk, Hodgy Beats, Jerome LOL, Problem, Salva and the aforementioned Baths. Check out "Disorderly" below…

Listen: Buck 65 - "NEVERLOVE" (Full LP stream)

Buck 65 has done a solid for his fans out there and shared a stream of his new album NEVERLOVE before its official release on September 30th. The Canadian emcee offers insight into each track providing his thoughts on the process and letting us know who was involved along the way, there is even some talk about the struggles he faced/still faces as result of his divorce some years back which is also the theme of the LP.

Several Anticon alumni help out with production duties and there are some other familiar voices that appear on the project that clearly acts as a therapeutic release for the broken hearted artist. I can say that I’ve seen Buck 65 live many times over the years, albeit most of those times where over a decade ago at this point with the first time being 15 years ago!  I always enjoyed speaking with both Richard and Emily so the whole thing hits home slightly more than I imagine it would if I didn't have a face and voice to put to the stories that are being told and it’s something I truly appreciate.

The record will be available in this form to listen to for about 48 hours so give it a spin from below and go out a buy it on the 30th if you enjoy what you hear.

Video: Son Lux – “Build A Pyre (Begin Again)”

Been missing in action the last couple of weeks working on various projects and enjoying some of the lovely weather out here in NYC. Honestly you haven't missed much as I’ve been keeping my eye on things and it’s been same old same old on the internet.

Son Lux's jittery new video for the song "Build A Pyre" off of the Alternate Worlds EP is made up of flickering images of fire, ash, and the occult, with the added visage of a mysterious woman giving the already nervous visuals an added creepy stop/go animation feel. Directed by GeoffHoskinson.

Video: Son Lux – “Alternate Worlds”


Ryan Lott, aka Son Lux, released his latest video in the form of “Alternate Worlds” today. The song appears on one of my favorite albums from 2013, Lanterns, which if you haven’t had a chance to spin yet you most certainly should as it is a beautifully complex record filled with many moving moments.  Truman & Cooper direct the emotionally charged video which is quite effective in that I most certainly got depressed watching it.
