Asobi Seksu (Japanese for “play sex”) is New York’s best-kept secret, but they won’t stay that way for long. Formed in 2002 by guitarist James Hanna, drummer Keith Hopkin and singer/keyboardist Yuki, Asobi Seksu eschews stylistic bombast and flavor-of-the-month posturing in favor of a sound that is intense, emotive, complex and overwhelmingly beautiful, both ear-shatteringly noisy and quiet as the grand canyon at night. Yuki’s vivid stories of loss and heartbreak, sung in both Japanese and English, soar above overwhelming squalls of deeply textured guitar noise that would make Kevin Shields blush. Comparisons to Lush, Stereolab, Blondie, and My Bloody Valentine may be partially accurate, but they fall short of fully describing the band’s swirling, incomprehensible beauty.
