Asylum is a CD which sounds as I was hoping it would - a "coming of age", logical progression of the band's self-released 2001 debut "Rocks in her Pocket", (later re-released on the Prolekult label in 2002). Asylum is a seamless transition from EP to album with no loss of that distinctively tender, yet oh-so-melancholy Angels sound. The album can be described as a gallery of audio artwork; akin to a photographic collection of black and white industrial wasteland imagery, the music and lyrics of Asylum are truly stark, disturbing, yet serenely beautiful.
