Asobi Seksu is wrapping up their headlining tour this Saturday night in Brooklyn, after a string of dates that included stops at Pop Montreal, Midpoint Music Festival and Pygmalion Festival. The band recently released a new video for "Perfectly Crystal", another standout track off their critically acclaimed Polyvinyl Records release, Flourescence. This stunning video showcases Yuki's beautiful silouette and breathtaking vocals.  It is directed by Billy Pavone, the beloved recently departed bassist that has been playing with Asobi Seksu for the past four years.
In mid-October, they meet up with Japanese experimental popster's BORIS and support them on the remainder of their dates. Don't miss these  shows, as they're guaranteed to be amazing!
 
****************************************

"What was once called shoegazer rock - shimmering, multilayered guitars enfolding confessions of longing and ambiguity - is back in Asobi Seksu, a New York band that wraps its guitars and keyboard around well-made pop melodies and the girlish ache of Yuki Chikudate's voice" NEW YORK TIMES

"Fluorescence, their fourth studio album, has an overwhelming brightness -- neon synth squiggles illuminate the shoegaze surge of "Counterglow," while epic centerpiece "Leave the Drummer Out There" is spotlighted by said instrument's crisp martial beat."  SPIN
 
"Dreamy, shoe-gaze pop tunes perfect for lazy weekends and just blissing out." NYLON
