Single Review: Asobi Seksu – Me & Mary (One Little Indian)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 17 November 2008
Historically, New York City is one of the greatest places to find the best underground music scenes. It boasts Andy Warhol’s old haunt Studio 54 and has been the birthplace of a long list of brilliant and innovative bands, from The Velvet Underground to more recent outfits like The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Misshapes. And that’s before we mention the ongoing reproduction and conception of some of the best noise-rock bands of recent years. Asobi Seksu have been releasing for just four of those; their sound is reminiscent of The Cocteau Twins and similar to that of neighbouring NYC-based band Blonde Redhead. ‘Me & Mary’ is a smattering mix of noisy guitars and haunting vocals from frontwoman Yuki Chikudate, and is everything you would expect from a band who have near perfected the shoegaze sound of old. A little on the predictable side but pleasant to listen to nonetheless, this is a promising taster of the band’s third studio album which will be released next year. TW
