Light Asylum - Heated Cinematic Synth Punk






Light Asylum are Shannon Funchess and Bruno Coviello from Brooklyn, New York, USA.


Having spent years touring and performing as synth pop project The Dreamies, Coviello channels a different strand of influence and completes the LIGHT ASYLUM sound alongside Funchess. The result is an uncompromising, rugged mixture of coldwave, EBM and electro-industrial structured through pop of the toughest sensibilities. A LIGHT ASYLUM production straddles underground electronic club music and radio song culture – part introverted, aggressive vehicles, part bright, jubilant fanfares – passages of carefully devised harmony and melody bloom between stabs of driving keyboards and drum machines.


They released their first EP “In Tension” in 2010. The four track EP was re-released in 2011 through Mexican Summer and licensed to Cooperative Music


The self-titled debut album is scheduled for release in May 1, 2012.

HighasaKite - Norwegian Pop with a twist



HIGHASAKITE by Riot Factory



HighasaKite make songs unlike most things yet to come out of Norway. Keyboards, zither, pounding drums and the occasional noise guitar together with Ingrid Helene’s distinctive voice makes a delicious blend of exciting indie pop inspired by artists such as Lykke Li and the movie Where The Wild Things Are. 



Highasakite’s debut album “All That Floats Will Rain” has received rave reviews throughout the Norwegian press, some even calling it album of the year (Dagbladet) and saying that “No song on this album is redundant, it’s all brilliantly brought to life. This, ladies and gentlemen, is pop music!”


Highasakite is playing many of Norways biggest and most important festivals this summer, amonst them Øya and Hove, in support of their debut album ‘All That Floats Will Rain’, out February 3rd 2012, on Norwegian indie label Riot Factory.

What I like... The Good Natured - Prisoner

The Good Natured are an electropop trio from Berkshire, United Kingdom. The band consists of singer-songwriter Sarah McIntosh, her brother Hamish McIntosh on bass and George Hinton on drums.


The Good Natured, recently signed to Regal/Parlophone Records, offer a catchy gothic twist on electropop with their new EP titled Skeleton, released on 20 June 2011. In the songs featured on the Skeleton EP, Sarah displays her compellingly mature command of the nuances of serious pop music, combined with the darker, and often more sensual, emotional and lyrical content of the gothic. Both “Skeleton” and “Wolves” are produced by Patrik Berger, known for his work with Robyn. Facebook
