Light Asylum

the debut full-length album by light asylum has been a long time coming, but not without rabid anticipation. as their self-released 'in tension' ep circulated and resonated with new leagues of listeners worldwide, the reputation of duo shannon funchess and bruno coviello sweltered via their intense live show, collaborations, and remixes. light asylum marks funchess' and coviello's return to the recorded fray with renewed intent, emotion and visceral energy, all to powerful effect. 'light asylum' is a collection of ten songs that are contemplative and starkly necessary. from the heated synth punk of 'ipc', 'pope will roll' and 'bat will' to the cinematic modesty of love songs like 'angel tongue', 'shallow tears' and 'a certain person'; the basement-found emotions of 'hour fortress' and 'sins of the flesh' to the melodic dramas of 'heart of dust' and 'end of days', light asylum have achieved an exhilarating, genuine and important moment.
