LIGHT ASYLUM - Skull Fuct [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

[@MatthewWalker_93_]

Shannon is a rare person who uninhibitedly inhabits her music with her experience through her lyrics when not only do those lyrics touch deeply on the human experience that we all share (to one degree or another), but also brings into the fore her experience as a person of color who, due to the history of an inhumane (but sadly, human) barbarism called slavery, has a family tree steeped in blood and violence. Thank you, Shannon, for this song, and for its terseness, it's sharpness, it's jaggedness, and for the fact that every time I hear it, I am forced to hear about something we hear so little about. It's humbling, poignant, challenging, and of course, beautiful.

[@jackevans3480]

Still love this ten years on. So damn powerful and beautiful. Shannon, you look stunning and sound utterly magnificent. Bless both of you x.

[@hydrohyperdrive8443]

Do you know what ever happened to them, it seems they just disappeared or from my understanding someone in the band passed away??

[@lukasketner]

@@hydrohyperdrive8443 I only just heard them for the first time last night when I saw them live, so there's still shows. I'm surprised to see there's just the one album from 10 years ago. A new favorite regardless!

[@iamKiluka]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@hydrohyperdrive8443 Bruno Coviello, one of the two members of Light Asylum, left the project in 2012, to focus on other things. That’s the reason why there was no more music from them afterward

[@iamKiluka]

@@lukasketnerIf you’re collecting records, it’s the right moment to discover them. Their album (that got really expensive over the years on the second hand market) did just get a vinyl reissue :)

[@lukasketner]

@@iamKiluka Awesome thanks! I'll pick it up. Pretty sure they're local to my town too, so hope to see another show at some point :)

[@sweeterthananything]

It's a kick drum playing 2 quarter notes followed by 8 sixteenth notes. That doesn't make it a Blue Monday sample.

[@Asporez]

Still a cool easter egg, the song is so different from blue monday even with the similarity wich is core to post-rock.

[@mohatpaden]

It's similar with Machine Gun by Portishead and Rivers by Keluar

[@daro1968]

It wasn't that long ago since we lost everything we own It wasn't that long ago since we lost everything we own Sucking in, gaping mouth, breathing in the dust Whipped flesh, broken bones, save us from the horror It wasn't that long ago since we lost everything we own It wasn't that long ago since we lost everything we own Sucking in, gaping mouth, breathing in the dust Whipped flesh, broken bones, save us from the horror Catch, this is your chance Catch, this is your chance Catch, catch We play the darkest lie, we are, we are Black stars, beating hard, we are, we are They want your soul

[@krishalseth]

I think they mix skull & soul at the end...

[@Fatty-qh5jx]

@@krishalsethI get that too.

[@alexdoria816]

Anne Clarke’s chaotic futuristic vibes with a deep lament emotion into it. Love every single song from this album! It’s addictive!

[@TheAnalPunisher]

I love Light Asylum, this is music with soul. Shannon is the new Grace Jones.

[@jamesperry8367]

Thanks for coming to Tampa last week. Your set was lit!

[@MsAudities]

An amazing duo making art - I'm going to promote the hell out of them

[@TheHiddenDesigner]

I'm actually GLAD it sounds like Blue Monday and Machine Gun. Those are two of my favorites and that drum style should be used a little more often if you ask me. I approve.

[@S4M3L]

In blue monday sample riff is like 2 slow beats then 8 fast and 4 slow. In machine gun is 2 slow 8 fast. Skull fuct contains 2 slow then 8 fast, so it's different. Only sound of sample is similiar ;)

[@mattdillon8077]

ANOTHER Brilliant and powerful track from these people. Sublime.

[@jeromesauvanet5015]

this band is so good and intense voice

[@krishalseth]

One of the most powerful songs I've ever seen performed in person. It was an experience that no one there will forget!

[@DWWM25]

I love this video. Those creepy shadowy creatures with the glowing eyes look very similar to the demons from the video-game Ico.

[@gabrielapetrie]

shannon funchess is my new "artist to watch"

[@royb0t]

Absolutely gorgeous visuals, one of my favorite songs too!

[@surrender4227]

Wow...the voice is so powerful

[@N0va123]

she got power in her voice like mustangs in their leggs

[@quimiscas1913]

Great lyrics....so true

[@skelevators]

GAWD I love you guys, so much amazing emotion in this vid, can't get enough!!!

[@nothingness.emptiness]

Amazing visuals and sound.

[@bluBlaq33]

Anybody hear "sisters of Mercy" in her voice a little???

[@Joypadrick]

Absolutely, after that I skipped to Temple of love❤️😍

[@tokyohalogen]

Shannon's voice reminds me of Gordon Sharp from The Freeze/Cindytalk/This Mortal Coil... Beautiful sound.

[@spinglasshydra]

"How does it feel, to treat me like you do? Tell me now, how does it feel?"

[@viniciusfalecido6485]

OMG! PERFECT!!! I LOVE IT!

[@cassidyhaley101]

love this so much!!! fantastic job..

[@onlyyesterday1967]

Beautiful

[@11corvus11]

Fantastic.

[@vincenzoguasto1]

Love this song

[@LuisSilvanotmusic]

Amazing, fantastic!

[@inphanta]

At first, I was a little skeptical owing to the sizeable debt to Blue Monday, but they really develop upon that percussive motif and make it their own. And that singer is a force of nature.

[@TheHiddenDesigner]

Right? That drumwork is clearly Blue Monday but they developed their own song with it nicely. I definitely approve.

[@Jokaanan]

excuse u... if I hear a drumbeat that reminds me of Blue Monday i'm not "skeptical", i get an erection

[@R1Armadill0]

My thoughts exactly. Love what this song turned into! My second song coming from Dark Allies (which the movie Burn Out brought me to). Am enjoying this little rabbit hole! Cheers!

[@hectormonroysalazar5305]

Funchess's fierce!

[@jeankende]

[@kikilaflame4290]

This shits a banger 💥💥💥

[@cannibalfae3910]

So beautiful!

[@glizzzda]

Emila and Cezary congrats!!!! Video is awsome!!!

[@aaron4820]

@sabrage It definitely reminded me of Machine Gun as well :P you're not alone.

[@bretteveretthowell3276]

Where is guy on the horse guy going? Why is he wearing a cape? What time is this in? Is he just out enjoying a brisk horseback riding sesh or is he frantically trying to reach somewhere? Or run from something? Did he get super flustered when Dave the neighbor asked him to pick up out his yard Gumbies raunchy poo piles, and jump on his horse just because he didnt know what the fck else to do... but DO SOMETHING before shit got too real and he "accidentally" ripped Dave's smug face off??? The possibilities are endless

[@datyeen]

Underrated comment lol

[@AntaBakaYT]

The rythm... New Order, Blue Monday

[@seintzeit]

[@paulderev]

@sabrage you mean New Order's "Blue Monday" right?

[@meowmeow1stgen668]

[@Zeitgeist6]

Who cares it's awesome :D

[@isitme]

HER VOICE IS GDOEVDIL

[@lego3650]

[@bruxinhadcd]

New Order's Blue Monday riff, whatever. The thing is, the song os fucking good!

[@enjoyyrworries]

IS THIS SONG ABOUT DRUGS

[@datyeen]

Not even close

[@fabio.g.3259]

Huge hue track but I'm disappointed about the drums.... they could have imagined something better....

[@sti3]

Helios I’m hearing a skinny puppy homage and loving it!

[@deXXXXter2]

Video may be good, but song is really boring.

[@Soshize]

Fuck, I was starting to like these guys - what a rip off

[@littleshaylarae1506]

i heard they kicked ol' whats her name out of the band just cuz shes black! i guess they are taking their music in a more racist direction

[@CydTygerConnor]

not true

[@overthrow3640]

Awesome!!!
