Asylum Party - Picture One (1988) Coldwave, Post Punk - France

[@kalenbaker7901]

Julia is one of the most underrated songs ever. This band is really something special. Love underground classics.

[@thetree9399]

Before The Smile is even more underrated

[@feywerfolevado6286]

I hear it on a lot of mixes…

[@ashgonza92]

Together in the Fall could have been a radio hit

[@slthlrdz]

Tremendous tune

[@gloriousking777]

"Take all the paiiiiin... in your veiiiins..." The Sweetness of Pain... Some of my fave lyrics ever. So deep and personnal and yet shared by everyone here.... Globally the whole first 3 albums are monumental masterpieces. True Musical Bliss.

[@ohno6825]

Rest In Peace Thierry Sobezyk. Thank you for this wonderful music. :((

[@claudiojuniorferreiraguimaraes]

I'm still sad about the news. I had no idea losing an idol hurt so much.

[@claudiojuniorferreiraguimaraes]

Yes my friend unfortunately, he passed away in July last year. See the news on the band's official facebook page ...

[@claudiojuniorferreiraguimaraes]

@Fernanda Rojo Yes. But the details about his death have not been revealed

[@claudiojuniorferreiraguimaraes]

@Fernanda Rojo It is not long ago that he left, just as you must have many people who still do not know simply because this information has not been widely disseminated, only in the specialized media and who follows the official page

[@DoratTheKiller]

R.I.P.

[@ashgonza92]

I've been listening to post-punk/goth, darkwave/shoegaze, whatever you want to call it, for a long time. But this is a damn deep, deep gem. I'm amazed at how long under the radar this band is. Yet so many modern bands try to sound just like this.

[@donniebobb74]

like 90% it seems like...it's crazy.

Yeah, yeah great stuff. Drinking a fortys to this album. I want be a vampire. A creature of the night!

[@paolovallejo8022]

@@trashstar2056 there’s none of that nonsense on this bands music

[@AMPCM]

The song Julia is by far the most miraculous song. If it was a British band instead of France, it would have been more appreciated.

[@jandron94]

I wonder wether the Touching Pop in general is somewhat out of grasp for the anglo-americans (I mean mainly the ones who have a "chauvinistic" view on "Rock" music and are so focused on the "anglo-sphere" bands). Even some snobbish French Rock critics disregarded at the time the Touching Pop for being... "French".

[@tapthevein2000]

Love the hypnotic bass and the ethereal guitars. It takes me to heaven.

[@UnregisteredHyperCam_2]

Which other ones do you come back to? Need song recs

[@moatrboat]

@@UnregisteredHyperCam_2 just explore this channel in general, there's all kinds of good music

[@fishtolizard3930]

Seriously warm sound for being considered a Cold Wave act (!?). Definitely Post-Punk... and Wonderful.

[@jean-matthieu4088]

Julia is a gem. Like a poppier Marian, the Sisters Of Mercy's classic. A classic in its own right. This is the song I remember from back then when I was into this so-called touching pop "scene" (I liked Little Nemo a lot).

[@MrWittyBanter]

For me White Light brings to mind the bleak meloncholy of one of the Cure's greatest songs, All Cat's Are Grey.

[@boilingluigi1824]

I have been around for only 13 years in my life as of right now, I have listened to many song, bands, and albums in my lifetime and there are still so many more for me to listen to. But if I ever had a top 10 most favorite albums AND bands, it'd be this album and band right here. This is gold, this album will be the thing that'll keep me going for the rest of my life. Asylum Party is a blessing for me. Rest In Peace, Thierry Sobezyk.

[@SpookyFow]

It's like The Cure meets New Order, The Fixx and OMD all rolled into one band.

[@diskoslibinas7824]

Its better

[@GuyNoirPrivateEye875]

Not sure where you’re getting OMD from but the other 3 are accurate

[@fishtolizard3930]

...and recorded for 4AD.

[@guidixest]

This bassline is incredible. Love this band. :)

[@claudiojuniorferreiraguimaraes]

Yes. Tomorrow will be a year since this great bass player left us.

[@SS-gx7tg]

Man the opening track blows my mind. It creates one of the most nostalgic 80s feelings imaginable in me. Makes me remember all kinds of things about my life from those years, and I've never even heard this album before (no idea how as I pretty much listen to post punk exclusively these days). What a find!

[@seeingeyegod]

same here!

[@azolthx]

THE french so called "touching pop" mouvement in the Cold wave. White light, Sweetness of pain ... still in my soul, 37 years after, unparalleled melancholy so far, for ever It reminds me too my old-friend Gaetan, a young artist, clan member of Asylum Party - gone to young ❤

[@alejandroconstanzo8917]

Together in the Fall !!!!

[@JakeRazorClawson]

I could listen to this album every day. "Together in the fall" is for everyone 😢 Much love to Asylum Party.

[@ashgonza92]

I'm playing that at my wedding 🥲

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@ashgonza92 : Love it. One of my favorite songs of all time. Congrats on your wedding.

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

Together in the fall is such an amazing and somber track. Very emotional tune.

[@roseneck3447]

Right now sitting in Le Conquet, Bretagne in my holidays one could think White Light was written for this part of France. For me it is one of the most beautiful songs of the 80s like Love in a car from the House of love.

[@PatrikPakard]

Cold wave masterpiece ✨️

[@x_vidrios]

one of my influences when it comes to the way i like to play bass

[@seeingeyegod]

I just keep coming back here. It would be so cool to get a copy of this album. I only discovered this band maybe a year and a half ago but I listened to it so much it formed one of those emotional music memories where whenever I hear it it takes me back to where I was and how I felt when I was listening to it all the time.

[@Bobbychristopher]

sweetness of pain , best track Ever

[@ronny-2112]

Love this band and all their discography, for me is perfect.

[@samkendrick5761]

Yessss it makes the song for me

[@Gregou-pn7lf]

So true !!! I remember me listening to this perfect moment again and again when I was 15 in 1988, seeing in my dreams my girlfriend... She became my wife and she's sleeping just beside me right now... "Every moment of my life still lives in your eyes" Magic

[@garythomas4431]

As with the 60s, and the 70s, the 80s brought us such creative treasures predating modern sterilized efforts. Asylum Party is a perfect example of minimalized effects, maximum talent.

Cierto🌞

[@brittany3078]

any other bands with this sound? I'm absolutely obesessed. the soft vocals and the gothy bassline and the synth. its perfection.

[@soysaucehairdye7869]

One band that comes to mind is The Sound with songs like "Hothouse", "Counting the Days", and "Unwritten Law." Sad Lovers and Giants also had a similar style with songs like "Colourless Dream." Their side band, The Snake Corps also had this style with less emphasis on the synth but a lot of great bass. The Chameleons second album with songs like "P.S. Goodbye" also has a similar vibe to this asylum party album. The Comsat Angels album '7 Day Weekend' and 'Land' are also worth checking out. Lastly I would recommend maybe checking out some The Danse Society.

[@horacebones493]

Little Nemo comes to mind. Lost Desert and The Essence too. Maybe lowlife, but lowlife have more of a shoegazey goth vibe.

[@Swantree6395]

Try Gestalt “le sommeil du singe” another French band from the 80’s based in Lyon

[@p.inostroza6250]

Mary Goes Round, Little Nemo and Babel 17 were bands that played together (with Asylum Party) in these years, i hope you like them :)

[@creekandseminole]

For a current band I highly recommend Soft Kill. They're directly inspired by Asylum Party. They've done a split 7" inch with them and they are releasing a compilation album for them as well.

Oui on est plus d'un à avoir été marqué par la basse "en roue libre" à cet instant du morceau, à chaque fois que j'écoute "Before the Smile" je suis toujours aussi agréablement saisi lors de la survenue de cet effet.

merci pour la mise en ligne : excellent groupe français : excellent bassiste ; les années 80 sont un trésor

[@jaipur1401]

Les années 80 étaient fabuleuses comme le début des années 90. Il y avaient des groupes incroyables en France et ailleurs en Europe, en Australie...Cela est tellement vrai quand on voit aujourd'hui la pauvreté extrême de la musique. Comme par hasard, les derniers concerts que je suis allé voir correspondent à des groupes de ces belles années même si certains font encore de la résistance ( Cure, Skinny Puppy, Yello...). D'ailleurs le concert de Cure que j'ai vu à Bâle était HALLUCINANT, je les avais déjà vu en Bretagne il y a 15 ans devant 70000 personnes, c'était incroyable.
