Contents

Composition

With Lux Prima, the duo craft "sprawling, soulful [and] cinematic" psych rock. [13] 1960s orchestral pop and the "packed and dusty" sound of 1990s trip hop are also worked in. [14] [11] Other styles featured include disco, funk, soul, [5] and lounge-pop. [8]

Reception

Lux Prima was well received by critics upon release. The Guardian called it "complex and lingering," praising Karen O's songwriting in particular. [15] Pitchfork also praised the album, recognising Karen O and Danger Mouse had "concocted a lush, vivid world on their dreamy and poignant collaboration." Pitchfork did criticize the choruses on the record, saying "Lux Prima works better as a journey than a destination"..."that never sounds better when going nowhere fast." They awarded the album a score of 7.3. [16]
