Shoegazer Sunday: Asobi Seksu’s “Never Understand”

Asobi Seksu covering a Jesus and Mary Chain song? Yeah, that’s shoegaze enough for me.

Shoegazer Sunday: Asobi Seksu’s “Stay”

Sunday, October 9th, 2011

Recently I’ve been getting into the band Asobi Seksu which, despite the name, is based in New York. Their first two albums, the self-titled debut and Citrus, are both worthy of interest. “Stay” is off the first album:

The first time I listened to it, I thought it too lounge jazzish, but at about the 3:20 mark, one of the most awesome shoegazer guitar solos ever kicks in.

Other Asobi Seksu tracks worth checking out are “Thursday” and “Walk on the Moon.”
