It's hard to not like a good-looking, female-fronted, Brooklyn-based band whose name translates loosely as "playful sex." The obvious vocal comparisons are to shoegazers and goths of twelve to thirty years ago--Siouxsie, Spirea X, Lush, Kate...more.
Not too much has changed since Asobi Seksu's earlier records. The songs tend to be more expansive in sound than on their older releases but because of this the lyrics sometimes sound muddy (or disappear completely behind the guitars) and...more.
Being so sick of the nonexistent originality that plagues music today, Asobi Seksu is refreshing and brings back the necessity of imagination and creativity. Every song takes you on a different path through the journey of these sheer genius musicians.
