About
LIGHT ASYLUM is the internationally acclaimed techno-punk project of vocalist, producer, and performance artist Shannon Funchess, founded in Brooklyn in 2007. Known for its distinctive fusion of Detroit techno, EBM, gothic rock, new beat, house, and synth-pop, LIGHT ASYLUM has become one of the defining names of the modern darkwave revival. The project has earned widespread recognition for its intense live performances and Shannon Funchess' powerful, unmistakable voice, widely regarded as one of the most distinctive on today's alternative music scene. The cult single "Dark Allies" (2011) remains an essential anthem in darkwave and goth clubs around the world, while the band's self-titled 2012 debut album firmly established LIGHT ASYLUM as one of the most influential acts in contemporary alternative music.
