Son Lux

About this event

With mmeadows Across nearly two decades, Son Lux has earned its reputation for splendor and sweep, but the artists’ ninth studio album Out Into (release date: September 18, 2026) is something different: a punchy suite of tactile, detail-minded songs born from dazzling moments of collective improvisation. “We’re going places we’ve never gone before in terms of energy, attitude, color,” founder Ryan Lott says. “And it all comes from having reverence for those initial sparks, for treating the voice memo version of the idea as the most sacred iteration.” These first-thought-best-thought strategies might come as a surprise to anyone who’s followed Son Lux’s recent adventures through Hollywood’s starrier corridors. Composing the Oscar-nominated soundtrack for Everything Everywhere All At Once in 2022 and Marvel’s Thunderbolts* in 2025 has been painstaking work — and while it may have broadened the band’s panoramic vision beyond the margins of a cineplex screen, it also made Lott, Bhatia, and Chang yearn to craft a Son Lux album that felt more immediate, more direct. And so Out Into finds Son Lux in a paradoxical zone between big and small, spontaneous and refined, experimentally-minded and pop-spirited. “We always want to walk that line of strangeness and familiarity in a way that’s exciting for the listener,” says Chang, “because it’s exciting for us.” Post-Show Reception & Artist Meet and Greet: Following the performance, a reception & artist meet and greet will take place in MASS MoCA’s Research and Development Store.
