At War with Walls & Mazes is the debut studio album by Ryan Lott under the Son Lux moniker. It was released through Anticon on March 11, 2008. [1]
Mehan Jayasuriya of PopMatters gave the album 6 stars out of 10, calling it "a dense, meticulously crafted haze of Baroque instrumentation, electronic pulses and hip-hop beats." [5] Matt Gollock of The Skinny gave the album 4 stars out of 5, saying: "This album's a slow burner that'll take a few repeated plays to really hatch, but it's another in a long line of truly innovative records from a rare gem of a label." [6]
Andy Whitman of Paste named it the 2nd best album of 2008. [9]
