Web Round-Up: Asobi Seksu

• Asobi Seksu was band of the day at Spin.com last week, as well as band of the week at Gothamist.
• My Old Kentucky Blog:
  

  She’s not your prototypical high-pitched Japanese electro-rocker-punk-chick-lead and that’s a really nice change of pace. Asobi Seksu’s sound is fuzzy dream pop with dance inclinations. They remind me of the Silversun Pickups but with a shoegaze-stylings. She switches back and forth from English to Japanese at times and sometimes things like that get on my nerves, but it’s a very cool thing here. Maybe because the smoothness and fluidity of her voice just sort of glosses me over, I just sort of fall in and lose track of what she’s saying anyway, so it becomes less important.

• Nedward.org: “They always reminded me of My Bloody Valentine meets Pizzicato Five, only better.”
• Low-Quality.net: “The key word with this album is MORE: Take everything you like about Asobi Seksu and Citrus does it to the power of ten.”
