Son Lux have announced details of the third and final volume of their ambitious three-part album, 'Tomorrows'. 'Tomorrows III' will be released digitally on April 16th via City Slang, and have shared its first single, "A Different Kind of Love." They have also confirmed details of the long awaited physical release of 'Tomorrows' for July 30th.

Arriving at a time of considerable uncertainty in the world, Son Lux's multi-album 'Tomorrows' is ambitious in scope and intent. Born of an active, intentional approach to shaping sound, the music reminds us of the necessity of questioning assumptions, and of sitting with the tension.

Ryan Lott, Rafiq Bhatia, and Ian Chang train their sights on volatile principles: imbalance, disruption, collision, redefinition. But for all of its instability, Tomorrows’ exploration of breaking points and sustained frictional places is ultimately in service of something rewarding and necessary: the act of questioning, challenging, tearing down and actively rebuilding one’s own identity.

At the start of "A Different Kind of Love" bell tolls of a detuned guitar clang out a warning. "I need a different kind of love," Lott sings, but what reads as a self-serving plea turns on its head as the song becomes a confession. “What loudly righteous prayers from this coward's lungs," Lott sings in the final moments, in what feels like an admission of the many things that are said to be done in love that hurt others.
