Artist:	LIGHT ASYLUM
Title:	In Tension
Label:	MEXICAN SUMMER
Format:	12"
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	MEX 088EP

"At once brutal and romantic, Light Asylum exists in that space where industrial gives way to goth, where the city meets the outer regions under the cover of night. Four songs here that showcase Shannon Funchess and Bruno Coviello's fluid synth pop attack that shifts elegantly from midtempo industrial dance to subliminal futureballads that are deceptively uplifting when considering LI's relentless dark sheen. Calling Funchess a commanding lead singer is an understatement; there is a heaviness and attack in her vocal delivery that is downright sinister. This is contemporary synth pop to a tee that comes to life during their revered live performances." Limited, numbered edition of 1000; includes download code.

Title:	Shallow Tears
Label:	MEXICAN SUMMER
Format:	12"
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	MEX 105EP

"Light Asylum storms the dark castle with the Shallow Tears 12". A co-production with Chris Coady (Beach House, Gang Gang Dance, Grizzly Bear), Shallow Tears is an early morning, arm-in-arm dancefloor psalm that hints at what's to come from the band's debut album. The B-side, 'Genesis' is mostly instrumental melancholic techno-pop in line with Chris & Cosey's output, accented by ambient delay tactics and ghostly vocal choruses. Pressing of 300." Includes download card. Pressed on high-quality virgin vinyl.

Light Asylum marks Funchess' and Coviello's return to the recorded fray with renewed intent, emotion and visceral energy, all too powerful effect. Light Asylum is a collection of ten songs that are contemplative and starkly necessary." On orange-colored vinyl, housed in a full-color gatefold sleeve with poster; numbered edition of 1000 copies.
