| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone from In Pierre Music, I'm Robin Hilton, it's all songs considered. |
| 0:13.7 | So, this week the band sunluxes back with a new album, it's called Alternate Forms, and |
| 0:20.1 | it's a completely reimagined version of their 2013 full length lanterns. |
| 0:25.6 | This reworking of lanterns called alternate forms features wildly different interpretations |
| 0:55.4 | of songs like easy and lost it to trying by artists like Kishi Bashi, Annabee Savage, |
| 1:01.1 | DM Stiff and a whole lot more. This is the first new album from Sunluck since they put out |
| 1:05.7 | their acclaimed soundtrack to the film, everything everywhere all at once. So to mark the occasion, |

| 2:20.9 | But at its heart, it's about family and the bonds that tie us together. |
| 2:26.3 | Everything everywhere all at once is also a genre-bending epic film. It's full of twists and turns. |
| 2:33.0 | And to pull it all off, filmmakers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Shinerd needed a score, a music score |
| 2:39.1 | that was just as wild, but also intimate and deeply emotional. So they turn to the band's son |
| 2:45.1 | Lux. This is a group that's fronted by Ryan Lott with percussionist Ian Chang and guitarist |
| 2:50.2 | Rafik Bodia. I recently sat down with Ryan Lott to talk about how the band pulled it off, |
