Finally Son Lux had me in 2013 when I heard this number, Lost it To Trying. Even then it took a while for it to grow on me. Eventually the song spent 18 weeks on the Top 100 climbing up to number 10. His show at Firefly Music Festival (where he got a cool 1am set AFTER the Foo Fighters on a tiny stage) was one of the highlights of the weekend.

#43 Son Lux - "Lost It To Trying"
Son Lux is simply Ryan Lott and he's a dude from New York City. He's not brand new, he released an album back in 2008 that never landed on my radar but NPR called it "Best New Artist" on All Things Considered. In 2011, he released another disc, yet again never on my radar, and was described by Consequence of Sound as "the dark, operatic middle ground between Owen Pallett and In Rainbows-era Radiohead or Wild Beasts' fantastic, operatic heights".
