Asylums by Alistair Underwood
It’s the first new music from Asylums in over two years.
Asylums have returned with a new single in anticipation of their fourth studio album, of which more is expected soon.
Crypto Klepto was recorded at Rockfield Studios in Wales with producer Dave Eringa, whose long experience – mostly with the Manic Street Preachers – still didn’t have him ready for the energy the band brought to the legendary studio.
“I can honestly say this is one of the most unhinged songs I’ve ever produced and up above 215bpm one of the fastest too!,” he says.
“At that speed it’s genuinely difficult to get it this heavy but the booming tom overdubs & the phalanx of fuzz guitars that annex the second verse get us there I think and the ‘Lalala’ backing vocals notch the crazy up a level too! Wild punk rock insanity! Love it!”
