Asobi Seksu, the band's name translates to playful sex, made a huge impact on New York City's indie scene with their second LP "Citrus," released in 2006.
Asobi Seksu's latest effort, "Hush," will be released Feb. 17 and is rich with dreamy melodies and soaring vocals.
What makes "Hush" such a success is the impressive and inviting dream pop melodies that crawl through the speakers and capture you. "Hush's" listeners may find themselves rocking along without even realizing it.
The album feels like a dream, and once you wake up from it you're still smiling.
"Me & Mary," the first single off of the new album (released Nov.. 18 of 2008) is one of the most distinctive indie pop songs to hit the airwaves as of late. The single delivers a rocking chorus including a combination of English and Japanese vocals.
"Me & Mary" is one of the best songs in the bands' catalogue.
The track "I Can't See" sounds like a relaxing 90's pop rock ballad, complete with dual vocals and layered guitars, and lead vocalist/keyboardist Yuki Chikudate sounds particularly impressive on this track.
"In the Sky" is a melodic dream with a gorgeous melody and delicate vocals.
"Hush's" outro constantly builds up speed to a satisfying finish, evoking the listeners to bob their heads
The album offers twelve pleasurable tracks that should stand out in your collection, and I am finding "Hush" on my "Most Played" list quite often.
