...according to our on 31 May 2007.

first on  the pile on One little Indian is Japanese popsters Asobi Seksu which I'm informed means "playful sex". Ouch!!! and she up and singing in her Japanese breathy way sounding a bit like My Bloody Valentine. They're not scared of a noisy distorted chorus to complement the gentle verse. Cheeky pop music for the kids... (like Talulah Gosh produced by Kevin Shields- Mingus)

What their label says...

Asobi Seksu (Japanese for "playful sex")A mainstay of premiere East Coast venues - including sold-out shows in New York - Asobi Seksu are a formidable live act. Perfectly executing both the rhythmic precision and saturated ethereal melodies of their first studio effort, the band delivers a brilliant live performance. Never wasting a second, they blend pop sensibilities and poignant moments of melancholia with unexpected sonic explosions. . Mainstream press has taken notice, with favorable reviews from the New York Press, Amplifier, The Village Voice, and the New York Times, who praised their, "blaring, shimmering, multilayered guitars" and "well-made pop melodies." They have been compared to My Bloody Valentine, Cocteau Twins and Lush
