Son Rise

Joyful Noise Recordings announce Alternate Forms, a track-by-track reworking of Academy Award and BAFTA nominees Son Lux's critically acclaimed breakthrough 2013 album Lanterns.The opening track on Alternate Forms, Kishi Bashi's "Alternate World (Alternate Life)", sets the tone for the entire album. Kishi Bashi has radically reimagined the song in his own voice, creating a wholly new mood and arrangement, laced with his signature pop magic. Son Lux and Kishi Bashi were label-mates at Joyful Noise Recordings at the time of Lanterns' release. Both artists share an uncommon ability to create sweeping symphonic landscapes in the confined space of a 4-minute pop song - as you'll hear on "Alternate World (Alternate Life)".

In the long annals of sports and crime, no story compares to the one that engulfed the Luckman family in 1935. As 18-year-old Sid Luckman made headlines across New York City for his high school football exploits at Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn, his father, Meyer Luckman, was making headlines in the same papers for a very different reason: the gangland murder of his own brother-in-law. Amazingly, when Sid became a star at Columbia and a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback in Chicago, all of it while Meyer Luckman served 20-years-to-life in Sing Sing Prison, the connection between sports celebrity son and mobster father was studiously ignored by the press and ultimately overlooked for eight decades.
