What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

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 the 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

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
