A24 Films commissioned an eclectic score from Son Lux for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s film Everything Everywhere All At Once, now A24’s highest-grossing film ever and starring Michelle Yeoh, Stephanie Hsu, Ke Huy Quan, Jenny Slate, Harry Shum Jr., James Hong and Jamie Lee Curtis. The 49-track album features striking collaborations with Mitski, David Byrne, André Benjamin (aka André 3000) Randy Newman, Moses Sumney, and more.
Of the album, Son Lux reflects, “Even though we knew from the moment Daniels asked us to score this film that it would push us in new and unexpected directions, we couldn’t have predicted how much we’d learn from the project. What emerged was our most ambitious undertaking to date, over two years in the making, resulting in two hours of new music. It was an opportunity for us to play, to infuse humor into our work, and to experiment from and beyond our various musical backgrounds.”
Son Lux’s score was nominated for Best Original Score at the 2023 BAFTAs and the 2023 Academy Awards®, and “This Is A Life,” an original collaboration between Ryan, Mitski, and David Byrne, was nominated for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards®.
