Asobi Seksu presents its new album, Citrus, eleven slices of guitar-swirling, sweet-and-sour, bilingual dream pop. Frontwoman Yuki's voice is more assured than ever, swinging from a girlish falsetto to plaintive laments and switching effortlessly between Japanese and English lyrics, all the while anchored by the lush, turbulent guitar of James Hanna. This is the sound of a band coming into its own, and having fun doing it.[ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2009! Asobi Seksu's Polyvinyl debut captures the energy of their live shows and transforms it into something new and different.

#61 Seller of 2005! Asobi Seksu is New York's best-kept secret, but they won't stay that way for long. Formed in 2002 by guitarist James Hanna, drummer Keith Hopkin, and singer/keyboardist Yuki, Asobi Seksu eschews stylistic bombast and flavor-of-the-month posturing in favor of a sound that is intense, emotive, complex, and overwhelmingly beautiful, both earshatteringly noisy and quiet as the grand canyon at night.
