Light Asylum – In Tension

demo / 2010 / buy

It’s almost indescribably good, this band, and their little bite of a four-song tour EP In Tension. Buzzy FM synths and tectonic beats. Apostolic organs ascending, noise screeching, the back and forth of Funchess’ voice caterwauling all manic with suggestion: “The prince of peace doesn’t have to know about it.” Good in the way you feel, you know; the hot pulse of it sucks thought straight outta your head. “A Certain Someone” comes in sweet and major—the only pastel-hued track of the bunch—and yields to the midnight mass of “Dark Allies”, the electro-punk pogo of “Knights and Weekends” (think Joy Division’s “Digital” if it actually were), “Skull Fuct” and its final darkwave yelp. The whole thing may be only 20 minutes—but it’s an intense 20 minutes.
