Asobi Seksu - Hush (2009)

Oy!

Asobi Seksu are a New York shoegazing band playing pop tunes with good dynamics in the tradition of My Bloody Valentine, Moose, Ride and The Primitives. This is not as noisy as Citrus from 2006, and in my opinion this thing isn't as good as Citrus, that was an amazing record. But still, the single Me & Mary is quite a fine noisepop tune, and Sing Tomorrow's Praise is Asobi Seksu at their most melodic and melancholic. Asobi Seksu, which means "playful sex" in Japanese, is more pop than noise. But this is still worth checking out.

Cheers,
