Excellent set from Asobi Seksu recorded earlier in the year. Most of the tracks come from their "Citrus" album but there are a couple of new songs on here which will hopefully be included on the new album which will apparently happen sometime in 2009.

Despite spelling her name like a medieval sorceress and lying to Bret Michaels of Poison about her age (32 is the new 37, apparently) we’re happy to announce that Liz Phair-look-a-like Ambre Lake won “Rock of Love 2 with Bret Michaels.” Hopefully that post-victory “crazy monkey sex” worked out for them.

Within the first minute of Citrus', Asobi Seksu shows more ambition and more character than the entirety of their wholly unexceptional debut. That album hinted at this band's instrumental talent and ability at sustaining mood through the highlights in Sooner', It's Too Late' and particularly Stay'. But for the majority of that album, Asobi Seksu just seemed merely content to work in the collective shadow of My Bloody Valentine, Lush, Ride and their ilk that their shoegaze aesthetics sounded way too run-of-the-mill to be regarded with any interest or enjoyment.
For sure, Yuki Chikudate and colleagues are still indebted to these bands, but Asobi Seksu now has a personality. And it's a loud one: there's so much reverb and thrashing guitar effects on practically every track that initial listens will give the impression of a weaker latter album half just out of sheer redundancy.
