ASOBI SEKSU (London Islington Academy, 09/02/09)



Having missed them five times previously, it’s a minor miracle that fate conspired to allow me and the excellent American shoegazers in the same room in the first place. And, all things considered, they were pretty good- some of the subtleties were lost under a fug of impenetrable guitar fuzz and the new material, whilst pleasant, lacked the killer hooks of Citrus. But Strawberries and Thursday were as awesome as I could have hoped, and they certainly didn’t skimp on the ground-sundering volume...
