One of the last albums ever recorded at London's renowned Olympic Studios (The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Who), Rewolf finds Asobi Seksu's core duo - vocalist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist James Hanna - affording listeners a new glimpse into songs spanning the band's entire career. Here, Asobi Seksu replaces its sonic layer of guitars with beautiful new arrangements achieved through the use of mostly acoustic instruments.

"This Brooklyn group's previous albums established them as shoegaze confectioners, molding candy swirls out of Yuki Chikudate's soaring, translucent voice and guitarist James Hanna's Kevin Shields - worshiping production. But here, Asobi Seksu so something My Bloody Valentine can't - leave Shields behind. 'Sing Tomorrow's Praise' and 'Me and Mary' evoke iciness over icing, with more expansive cool than insidious sweetness. And the duo's seasick guitar ('Layers'), ethereal synths ('Gliss'), and Japanese lyricism ('Meh No Mae') still provide plenty of geeky studio epiphanies." - SPIN
