Light Asylum are famously mighty live, sometimes Herculean and sometimes super dark, but always beaming so much power from Shannon Funchess’ vocal chords and Bruno Coviello’s keys. And they’ve built themselves up largely on that strength. They’ve finally signed to Mexican Summer and promise to put out a proper LP, but for a long time were without a record label and only had a handful of MP3s available. Photographer Christelle de Castro was lucky enough to follow them on their recent American tour and it turns out, no matter how colossal on stage, touring always means sleeping on pull-out couches and stopping for fast food.
