About Me |
|
| An immense hope penetrated my soul today. I do not know what to call it: simply happiness. The hope that happiness is possible. Ever since this morning, the windows of my hospital room are flooded with sunlight. But this is not the reason for my happiness: lo, it is the Lord!

Music:Member Since: 12/4/2004Band Website: asobiseksu.com Band Members: An artistic image is one that ensures its own development, its historical viability. An image is a grain, a self-evolving retroactive organism. It is a symbol of actual life, as opposed to life itself. Life contains death. An image of life, by contrast, excludes it, or else sees in it a unique potential for the affirmation of life. Influences: Some stuff Sounds Like: REVIEWS “Contrary to what you may see written about them, Asobi Seksu aren't gazing at their shoes on their second album-- they're looking skyward the whole time. Yes, the guitar overload, massive reverb, and deceptively sweet vocals are all there, but this New York quartet is anything but a My Bloody Valentine retread. Frontwoman Yuki Chikudate gives the band a charismatic focus, and her vocals range from a soulful croon to a delicate wisp. Whether she's singing in Japanese or English (she does both in about equal measure), she always keeps it catchy, and that squishing sound you hear when she sings "put your tongue up to my battery" on "Nefi+Girly" is indie boys melting across the country. This is electric music in every sense of the word-- amplified, processed, and imbued with a neon glow. Comparisons to shoegazers of yore have their uses, as they're clearly influences, but I'd class Asobi Seksu nearer to Mahogany as a band that takes those influences and spins them into something special and unique. Rating: 8.3” Pitchfork, Citrus album review “When life hands them lemons, New York’s Asobi Seksu makes dream pop Dom Perignon. Frontwoman Yuki ranges from seductively nonchalant on the Mazzy Star-ish ‘Exotic Animal Paradise’, cooing “All the things you find out, I just find tiring”, via full-throttle indie-queen belting on fuzzy JAM epic ‘Strings’, to butter-wouldn’t-melt-innocence on ‘Goodbye’. It’s a heady Cocktail: bottoms up. 8/10” NME, Citrus album review “Chikudate’s beautiful voice floats against Hanna’s dirty guitar, her notes too high to get grubby, as the rhythm of ‘Strawberries’ changes from stabbing rock to soulful Motown. The two team up for ‘Goodbye’, Hanna adding an air of disappointment to Chikudate’s romantic cooings. A cover of the Ramones’ ‘Merry Christmas (I Don’t Want to Fight Tonight)’ fits them like a furry glove, and as shiny confetti shoots into the air, they become figures in a giant snowglobe.” THE GUARDIAN, review of 11/30 London show “‘Thursday’ is not just retro-fuelled dirge. It’s a brilliant, snow-flecked saunter of a tune that feels like being licked awake by kittens after a hard night on the sake.” NME, 'Thursday' single review VIDEOS Thursday Goodbye Walk on the Moon PHOTOS Record Label: Polyvinyl (US) One Little Indian (Europe) Type of Label: Indie |
