Asobi Seksu - Transparence EP
Asobi Seksu keep the momentum going with a new EP to follow up their 2009 release, Hush. The 10” EP includes a re-edit and remix (by Aa) of the track Transparence from their previous album as well as two unreleased songs. Like most of Asobi Seksu’s releases you know what you’re going to get; sweet, hypnotic sounds that leave you longingly. The Transparence EP is no different,...
Still Not There: 2009 SXSW
As last year, I will not be able to attend the music lover’s paradise, South by Southwest, and will have to explore the roster of artists from the swivel chair in front of my laptop (if I spin around fast enough every so often, I can attempt to simulate the dizziness brought on by wanting to see so many bands at once).

The Joy Formidable
If you’ve followed this site for a while, you might know I have a severe weakness for female-fronted indie pop bands, so it’s no surprise that I was immediately taken by Welsh noise-pop trio, The Joy Formidable.

Exclusive Interview: Asobi Seksu Discusses New Album and More!
The Brooklyn band Asobi Seksu, (Japanese for "playful sex") comprised of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, instrumentation), James Hanna (various instruments) and friends is one of our favorites here at The Walrus.

Asobi Seksu :: ‘Fluorescence’
As I was sitting at my desk listening to Asobi Seksu’s forthcoming album, it sort of dawned on me that this was indeed their fourth album since 2004. Just sort of amazing to think that time has gone by so quickly, as it feels as if I just discovered them yesterday. Anyways, yes, Fluorescence is the the new album which is due out on Valentine’s Day in the UK, followed by a US...

Singles for the week beginning 10th December
Band name: Wolf People, Get Crucial, Lorraine and more Label: various indie shweeendies Teaser: This week’s singles are “a bit 1980s”.
