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)".
