"Whenever it seems that synth-based rock music has reached its limit and finally exhausted listeners, some Korg-beating chaps come barging into my speakers screaming, No, wait!” (Death and Taxes)
Light Asylum is the Brooklyn based duo of vocalist Shannon Funchess and Bruno Coviello on keyboards. Together the two deliver confident anthems over hard-hitting synth landscapes.
Funchess her powerful vocal style has drawn easy comparison to the likes of Ian Curtis, Grace Jones and even Billy Idol. Her voice has appeared on tracks by bands like Telepathe and TV on the Radio, but it’s with this latest project that she has come into her own.
In Tension, the band’s self released four song debut EP (available at their live shows only), delivers a strong goth-wave foundation with harrowing vocal passages, most effectively on new single Dark Allies.
