As announced, New York trio Son Lux have unveiled Tomorrows II, the second instalment in a far-reaching three-volume body of work. We’re offering “Molecules,” the album’s second track, as one of today’s free downloads to full XLR8R+ members.

This series’ second volume, following August’s Tomorrows I, sees a more introspective, stripped-back facet to the Tomorrows world. It arrives at a time of uncertainty in the world and aims to remind us of the necessity of questioning assumptions, and of sitting with the tension.

Son Lux began as a solo project for founder Ryan Lott but expanded in 2014 thanks to a kinship with Ian Chang and Rafiq Bhatia. The group honed their collective intuition while creating, releasing, and touring five recordings, including albums Bones and Brighter Wounds. The band remains audibly indebted to soul, hip-hop, and experimental improvisation.

Tomorrows II LP is scheduled for December 4 digital release on City Slang.
