Son Lux unleash an "open letter" to the world's oppressors, "You Don't Know Me"

It's the latest teaser of upcoming record Bones, which is set for release this summer.

The band's guitarist Rafiq Bhatia said of the cut:

"Created in the midst of multiple ongoing struggles for civil rights both in the U.S. and around the world, 'You Don't Know Me' calls out the appropriators of dogma. It's an open letter to anyone who misuses political and religious philosophies to subjugate and oppress their sisters and brothers.

"This track is also a great illustration of the ephemeral collaborative process that birthed this LP. Ryan had bronchitis when he recorded the vocals, which were originally meant to be a placeholder take, but we had to keep them because their rawness serves the song. The drums uncannily mimic Ian's playing, but were programmed by Ryan. The bassline that anchors the outro came from a single take of me improvising on octave-dropped guitar. We had Moses Sumney stack a million layers of vocals mimicking a part created on a japanese flute synth patch. Hanna Benn arranged and sang the outro choir parts after a phone call touching on Bach chorales and Mariah Carey. And, once we heard the new D'Angelo record, we realized that the track wouldn't be complete without electric bass from Jack Hill."

Bones is out 22 July on Glassnote.
