Release Notes -
Awesome shoegaze/dream pop band from NYC. Buy it, homos.
Bearing a hyper-stylized and glitzy graphic design sense, a pretty and petite
Japanese female singer who sings alternately in Japanese and English, and a
band name with a hint of nod-and-a-wink naughtiness (it's claimed to be a
Tokyo-based slang term that means "playful sex"), Asobi Seksu comes across
like the latest Japanese import, the newest in a long line of ironic shibuya
kei indie pop artists following Puffy AmiYumi, Cibo Matto, or Pizzicato Five.
In fact, the quartet is based out of New York City, and besides the heavy
Japanese pop influences, Asobi Seksu bears comparison both to the British
shoegazer bands of the early '90s (My Bloody Valentine in particular) and to
New York guitar noise acts ranging from Sonic Youth to Yo La Tengo.
Singer and keyboardist Yuki Chikudate, guitarist James Hanna, bassist Glenn
Waldman, and drummer Keith Hopkin formed Asobi Seksu in late 2001,
self-releasing their self-titled debut album the following year. Garnering a
strong local buzz at a time when the New York club scene was hot again
following the success of the Strokes and Interpol, Asobi Seksu came to the
attention of the indie Friendly Fire Records, which reissued Asobi Seksu with
new cover art in 2004. The album's single, "I'm Happy But You Don't Like Me,"
raised the band's college radio and online profile; that song and two others
from the album, "Sooner" and "Walk on the Moon," were placed in the indie
film In Between Days, which won a special jury prize at the 2006 Sundance
Film Festival.
Before recording their second album, Asobi Seksu underwent a major personnel
shift, with the core duo of Chikudate and Hanna replacing Waldman and Hopkins
with new bassist Haji and drummer Mitch Spivak. Produced by hot New York
indie producer/engineer Chris Zane (Human Television, Ambulance LTD, etc.),
the more polished, multilayered Citrus was released to solid reviews in May
2006. At some point near the end of the nearly two years spent touring behind
the album, Hanna had a revelation that led him to re-think the sound of the
band, namely that he was sick and tired of the guitar sound the band had
utilized up to then. For the next album, the band (then down to the core duo
of Chikudate and Hanna) stripped back the layers of guitar noise and aimed
for a more atmospheric and lush sound. Hush was released by new label
Polyvinyl in February of 2009.
