Welcome to another edition of our regular Monday stream-a-thon, wherein we hunt down the best and/or most notable records streaming for free over the Internet. This week, we urge you to separate the new Brian Jonestown Massacre album from images of Anton Newcombe kicking fans in the head, and also serve up fine doses of Monday morning angst from Light Asylum and Marilyn Manson. Elsewhere, there's '70s faux-nostalgia from Royal Headache and the new record by Sheffield poet laureate Richard Hawley. Click through and listen to your heart’s content! [...]
Light Asylum is somewhat of an exception to the synthpop norm. While their counterparts are ushering listeners into summer with danceable pop and breezy melodies, these Brooklynites are rattling our cages with darkness and political undertones. Light Asylum is intimidating, but the band's goth pop comes with an undeniable groove that's still easy to enjoy. Much of their fear factor comes in the way of the oozing confidence of frontwoman Shannon Funchess. Funchess' authoritative growl sounds almost masculine, her gravelly rasp demanding just as much attention recorded as it does onstage. Whether she's screaming out accusations [...]
Light Asylum took an awful long time to release their debut full length (we first blogged about them exactly 2 years ago), but this doesn't mean that the project didn't make progress in the meantime. These days, a great live show can serves an emerging artist better than a great album, and the band's intense performances, driven by the commanding presence and voice of lead singer Shannon Funchess, have allowed the duo to impose itself as one of the most successful Brooklyn based electro-goth acts. Light Asylum will be celebrating the release of their debut album "Shallow [...]

" ICP " y una nueva version de " Shallow Tears " fueron los dos primeros adelantos que tuvimos de lo que seria el tan esperado debut de este proyecto compuesto por Shannon Funchess y Bruno Coviello llamado Light Asylum el cual desde que sacaron " Dark Allies" hace casi como dos años, de inmediato comenzaron a llamar la atencion y una enorme cantidad de sellos comenzaron a hacercase a ellos para ficharlos pero esto era un tanto inecesario ya que en multiples ocasiones rechazaron sus ofertas y aun asi, fueron capaces de editar [...]
Brooklyn dark wave duo Light Asylum are throwing an album release party at Public Works on May 14th .

You can find the album in stores on May 1st or wait until the show and grab a copy from the band themselves. Openers include [...]

This is the first record from oOoOO , aka San Francisco's Chris Dexter Greenspan, in almost two years and its only his sophomore effort. The image above is the EP's album art stamped with his signature boney, outstretched arms-exc ept this time they look a lot less spooky. Ok I said spooky but I'm not gonna say w**** h****. "NoWayBack" was its first shared track, [...]

Shervin Iainez Rose Cousins is not a new artist. The Charlottetown by way of Halifax artist has been releasing music for the better part of a decade and I've technically heard her before as she's guested on any number of Maritime-born records including Joel Plaskett's, but I'd not heard any of her own material until her third full-length album We Have Made A Spark , released at the end of February. And clearly that's been my loss. It's not a record that stops you in your [...]
Género: Synth pop. Shannon Funchess (vocals, percussion) y Bruno Coviello (synthesizer, drum machine) son una pareja de Brooklyn que se estrenará de largo el próximo 1 de mayo con un álbum homónimo, que dará continuidad a In Tension Tour EP del 2010. IPC es el tercer adelanto, tras Shallow Tears y Genesis . Es oscura pero es pop, es electro pero también es gótica, visceral y enérgica. Todo esto y alguna cosa más, con el básico objetivo de hacernos bailar. [...]
Every Friday, I pick out four great new music picks from the best of the music blogosphere as part of my Day & Night internet section. Follow Day & Night on Twitter or Facebook . It's out today in print with every copy of the Irish Independent. Light Asylum Coming across like Devo in full 'Whip It' mode, the agitated wonky pop of 'IPC' from this Brooklyn via Berlin band's (too much cool right?) Mexican Summer label debut is odd and compelling, [...]
