: Includes Pulitzer Prize-winner Caroline Shaw (arrangements), Björk (vocals on "Berghain"), and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (co-production on "Reliquia"). Standard Tracklist (Digital)

Yet, there is a paradox at the heart of this search. The MP3—even at 320kbps—is a compromise by design. It is a fragment of a larger whole, a copy that always falls short of the studio master. In seeking the highest possible compression, the listener is chasing a phantom of perfection. They are building a shrine to a god they know is already fading. The “Lux” in the title means light, but light in the digital realm is measured in bits and samples. We are squinting at a JPEG of a stained-glass window, trying to convince ourselves we can feel the sun.
