Son Lux - Lost It To Trying (Mouths Only Lying)

Back in May, producer and composer Son Lux aka Ryan Lott released the Alternate Worlds EP, featuring reimagined versions of four tracks from his last year’s album Lanterns and a collaboration with Lorde. Son Lux has recently unveiled a video for ‘Lost It To Trying (Mouths Only Lying)’, lifted from the Alternate Worlds EP. Here’s what director Imogen Murphy said about it:

“The lush musical production and beautifully layered melody merited an intense narrative. The song is full of melancholy emotion so the treatment had to go deep and dark. The film shows a couple in a disintegrating relationship, unable to move on because of the weight of mutual negativity they carry.”

Watch the video for ‘Lost It To Trying (Mouths Only Lying)’ below.


Alternate Worlds is out now via Joyful Noise Recordings.

The album sees the band’s classic line-up featuring bassist/vocalist Les Claypool, guitarist Larry LaLonde, and drummer Tim Alexander, back together for the first time in almost 20 years.
