The New York-based Asobi Seksu, led by female Japanese-American singer Yuki Chikudate and guitarist James Hanna, play
old-fashioned shoegazing psychedelic-rock.
Asobi Seksu (2004) was an unabashed tribute to the walls of distortions of
My Bloody Valentine.
Citrus (Friendly Fire, 2006) is slightly more original, boasting
catchier riffs and refrains (notably Thursday), but still suffers from its derivative roots.
Except for the eight-minute Red Sea,
they stubbornly stick to the song format, occasionally bordering on kitschy
Japanese pop.
It is the singer's evil voice that truly defines their ego.
A more elegiac tone pushed
Hush (Polyvinyl, 2009)
towards the sumptuous dream-pop of the
Cocteau Twins.
However, the final product sounded occasional and erratic, with a few cute
songs
(mainly Me & Mary and I Can't See)
buried in a jelly of self-imitations.
Rewolf (2009) offers acoustic renditions of Asobi Seksu songs done by
vocalist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist James Hanna.
