THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: “Asylums have been quietly building an impressive back catalogue of albums since the release of their debut Killer Brain Waves in 2016. With three full studio albums and a standalone single behind them, Asylums are back with their fourth album Signs Of Life — their first since the release of 2020’s Steve Albini-recorded Genetic Cabaret.
Recorded at the legendary Rockfield Studios with genre-bending Manic Street Preachers producer Dave Eringa in the driving seat, Signs Of Life is a record that evolves Asylums’ sound once again while still staying true to their musical and lyrical DNA.
Signs Of Life draws inspiration from a spectrum of human emotions and examines how they intersected with technology during the accelerated change of the last few years. As well as dialling their manic rock sound 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.”
