After a long beautiful day of shows, Light Asylum were the first band that played a full-on nighttime set at The FADER Fort by FIAT. No one kicks off dark time disco vibes better than ... read more »
12. Zola Jesus - Vessel Posted 29th June : "Vessel" is a stunning return for Nika Roza Danilova, harsh metallic beats and Nika's colossal voice create an immediate, menacing atmosphere that's dramatic and chilly." 11. Dum Dum Girls - Coming Down Posted 20th July : "Coming Down" is a real heart on sleeve lament. Dee Dee's smoky vocals recall more Hope Sandoval than the lo-fi fuzzed-out Shangri-La's of the debut. Languid, echoey guitars shimmer with emotion [...]

Se acabo! Esto es todo! A partir de hoy ya no hay mas conteo, es el momento de conocer cual es el track que encabeza cada uno de los cortes que desfilaron por aqui a lo largo de estas dos semanas aunque claro, por algunas otras cosas tuve que concluir este conteo un dia antes de lo planeado asi que, espero que cada uno de ustedes haya estado disfrutando por completo cada uno de los tracks que les fui compartiendo dentro de este conteo y por supuesto, que tambien se hayan visto envueltos en este sentimiento muchas veces 'general' dentro [...]

Das US Kult-Label Mexican Summer (Real Estate, Washed Out, Kurt Vile u.a.) feiert mit der Single "Snakes / Flying Dream" von Ford & Lopatin den hundertsten Release. Ford & Lopatin, die besser bekannt sind als Games, aber wegen einem Rechtsstreit mit dem US-Rapper Game im FrĂŒhling 2011 ihren Namen Ă€nderten, haben mit Label-Kollegen Tamaryn und Shannon Funchess alias Light Asylum zusammengespannt und zwei sehr unterschiedliche Tracks auf einer Single vereint. WĂ€hrend "Flying Dream" in sich versinkt, ist "Snakes" fast schon ein EBM-Track. [...]
Tamaryn fans will have to wait until next year to get their hands on a follow up to 2010âs âWavesâ LP. But thanks to a collaboration with electronic newcomers Ford & Lopatin we already have a new tune! âFlying Dreamâ will be released on November 22 as a split single with Shannon Funchess (of Light Asylum ). The 12-inch celebrates the mighty Mexican Summer âs 100 th release after four years of operation. Happy 100 folks! Download audio file (Tamaryn-With-Ford-And-Lopatin _Flying-Dream1.mp3) [...]
Brooklyn production duo Ford & Lopatin have produced a pair of new tracks featuring Tamaryn and Light Asylum singer Shannon Funchess. The collaborations are for a split 73 coming out on Mexican Summer November 22, marking the label's 100th release to date. Stream both tracks below. MEX100 - Ford & Lopatin + Shannon Funchess + Tamaryn by Mexican Summer
There are snakes infecting the union. And when Light Asylumâs Shannon Funchess says this, it gives this sentiment an even greater sense of urgency. You can't be complacent listening to her sing anything, she emotes ... read more »
Their 2011 album Channel Pressure was all queasy synthpop, like a bad-dream memory of '80s PBS science-film soundtracks, but Ford & Lopatin go in a couple of different directions on a new collaborative single. One track, "Snakes," features Light Asylum wailer and frequent !!! collaborator Shannon Funchess, and it's essentially a Eurodisco banger, but stripped back just enough to make it sound weird and wrong. The other, "Flying Dream," has vocals from dream-rock singer-songwriter Tamaryn, and it goes into a blissed-out float-pop zone. Both songs are excellent, and I'd take either one over anything on Channel Pressure [...]
La semana pasada les ponia un mix que hizo Tamaryn con motivo del anuncio de lo que nos tiene preparado Mexican Summer para su lanzamiento numero 100, un lanzamiento que de alguna u otra manera ya resultaba bastante atractivo pero no lo suficiente hasta que se dieron a conocer los detalles completos y bueno, si no se habian enterado, este material esta compuesto de dos colaboraciones al mando de Ford & Lopatin . En una de ellas aparece Shannon Funchess de Light Asylum y en la otra, aparece esta otra chica [...]
Spooky and fun!!! No I'm not talking about Halloween, but close; about a track that perfectly matches with my favorite holiday! It's the remix our super talented friend Joey Hansom and his buddy Dj Dickey Doo did on the macabre "Dark Allies" by Light Asylum. And I must admit that I am horribly and scarily addicted to this track! [...]
You know we have to keep you up to date with pretty much everything Light Asylum do. So here you go, a brand new remix of 'Dark Allies' by DJs Joey Hansom and Dickey Doo . They took the band's mighty goth club anthem and turned it into... Well, something completely different. [ via ] Dark Allies (Joey Hansom & Dickey Doo remix) Web Asylum.
Bruno Coviello and Shannon Funchess of Light Asylum showed up to play The FADER FORT by FIAT looking like members of a Kenneth Anger leather daddy biker gang, balancing each other's look in matching leathers. ... read more »
We're on the other side of CMJ now, which you could probably tell by the uptick in the music news cycle, or by some bloggers' (could be any bloggers, no way to know who I am talking about) bleary eyes and corresponding level of risibility. Stereogum threw some a couple of parties early on , then shifted into showcase-hopping mode. Herein you'll find a hand-selected collection of the finest and most representative photos of CMJ 2011 from our crew of exceptional photographers - Erez Avissar , Ryan Muir , and Jessica Amaya - [...]
Yeh, bueno, el sabado termino una semana de muchas actividades muy importantes en Nueva York en cuanto a la musica se refiere con todo el maraton de CMJ y por supuesto, durante estos dias y contando con la presencia de distintos proyectos muy interesantes diferentes estaciones de radio y algunos otros sitios aprovechan la ocasion para fichar a algunas bandas para hacerles alguna sesion o solamente para entrevistarlos para escribir un articulo en su blog. Newtown Radio a lo largo de CMJ estuvo realizando un par de sesiones bastante buenas entre las que se encuentra esta que le [...]

Last year, right around the time summer turned to fall, we at Stereogum published our list of the 40 best new bands of the year . The idea of a "new" band is a pretty nebulous one, since many of the kids we listed were probably planning out their musical ventures in their basements since they were 11, but these were all artists who started to make a dent in our collective consciousness last year. This year, we've got another crop of 40 new artists who deserve your attention. So here we go again. A few clarifications [...]
