frontwoman Karen O and famed producer collab for an album that originates from "a blurry place." For Lux Prima, DM states: "we were really looking for a place rather than a sound. It was our first shared destination so we thought we'd take our time getting there." The title track offers a striking preview of what's to come; it's an atmospheric 9-minuter led by Karen O's unmistakeable vocals cutting through with calm but harrowing energy, and when the funk beat kicks in, it progresses into a trip-hop groover with masterful orchestral arrangements. "Woman" is more charged, with Karen describing "for the inner child in me that needed the bullies out there to know you don't fuck with me."
