Song of the Day - June 8, 2006

Asobi Seksu's latest release is Citrus, a new shoegazing classic. Yuki sings in both Japanese and English, while guitarist James Hanna creates swirling guitar effects. They are often compared to My Bloody Valentine and Lush, but Asobi Seksu definitely put their own spin on things. "Nefi + Girly" is one of the standout tracks combining Yuki's falsetto vocals with a catchy pop beat, while the crescendo and diminuendo of Hanna's guitar create atmospheric effects that cannot be ignored.
