Not since their much their loved single ‘Joy In A Small Wage’ have Asylums articulated their melodic and
melancholic dimension so well this time adding drummer Henry Tyler’s string arrangements into the
mix. On ‘Instant Coffee’ the band entwine the fragile introspection of early Kurt Vile and Cat Power
with the late 90’s song smithery of Blur and The Cardigans.
The results are uplifting, soul searching and further evidence that Asylums are on top form for their forthcoming album ‘Signs of Life’, due October 28th.
‘Signs of Life’ was recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios in Wales with genre bending
‘Manic Street Preachers’ producer Dave Eringa in the driving seat. As well as dialling the rock action up to
10, this record also draws from the likes of R.E.M., The Magnetic Fields and The Beatles who all
arguably made some of their best work during a live hiatus.
Producer Dave Eringa on ‘Instant Coffee:
“It’s like all of Luke’s songwriting to date has been leading up to Instant Coffee, a beautifully
melancholic perfect pop song with real depth! Late 90’s Albarn meets the great bits of American indie at a classical concert & they all get together for a party!”
The world has changed, Asylums have changed...but one thing remains valid, making music is still an
essential craft and serves as creative medicine for many musicians and listeners alike.
