Asobi Seksu are an American/Japanese MBV-schooled shoegaze band based in New York and consisting of Yuki Chikudate, James Hanna, as well as tour and session bassists and drummers. Describing them as a mix of Slowdive and Lush mightn't be completely accurate, but it's the best i've got.The band's third LP, 2006's Citrus, is certainly the best starting point. This is a track from that splendid record.

*thumbs up* from me. Big fan of shoegaze genre, first heard this band on the aeroplane on the inflight playlist! Glad to see fellow City fans continuing the trend of great music taste.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Asobi Seksu is truly one-of-a-kind. Japan Society NYC is in for a treat when they perform this Saturday.
ReplyDeleteWhich of the albums do you consider to be the best one?
