Son Lux – “Pyre” Video (Stereogum Premiere)
Son Lux’s Lanterns already yielded one video steeped in modern dance, the grandiose “Lost It To Trying.” Here’s another: For the creeping-then-roaring Disney villain night march “Pyre,” the Craig Brothers directed dancer Bennyroyce Royon gyrating artfully while splattered in paint while Lux himself appears caked in dust. It’s evocative; watch it below.
Lanterns is out now via Joyful Noise. How about some 2014 world tour dates?
