Son Lux Shares "No God Like A King" - Ghettoblaster Magazine

Son Lux — the project of Ryan Lott, Rafiq Bhatia, and Ian Chang —share “No God Like A King,” the third single from their forthcoming album, Out Into (This Is Meru/City Slang), out September 18, 2026. Following “Want You To Love,” “No God Like A King” brims with a seething energy belied by its sludgy, screwed sonics. A one-take performance by the band was stretched and slowed to form the core of this song about hypocrisy in America, closing the album with a distinct fearlessness. It’s a sound like nothing Son Lux has made before and yet could only have come from them.

“We’re all fans of hip-hop — the boom-bap era in particular,” drummer Ian Chang says. “Stuff that has that gridded-but-not-gridded kind of feel. With our love for liquidy beats, we’ve always been drawn to the humanity in it. And with AI changing the music industry so much, we’re interested in making stuff where you hear the hand.”

Son Lux is currently on a global tour taking them to many cities throughout both 2026 and 2027. In North America, Son Lux will play Minneapolis, Chicago’s Sound & Gravity Festival, Seattle, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and beyond before capping off the year with two shows at Pioneer Works in Brooklyn, NY on Fri. Dec. 18 and Sat. Dec. 19. Tickets are now available here.
