Diciamo che ho avuto la
fortuna di assistere passo passo alla genesi (e quindi a ricevere i
cd) degli
Asobi Seksu,
traduzione
giapponese x Sport Fuck, nome che poi utilizzavano all'inizio
(vedi passate
recensio), la "Scopata Sportiva": - inizialmente tutto partiva
da un Gruppone psycho_edelico lisergico di New York, a nome Theta
Wave State (intervistati
su koma#1), poi l'arrivo della cantante Yuki
Chikudate e cambio di formazione ha dato modo al Gruppo di
fare una
virata pop lo-fi che coinvolgesse anche distorsioni lascive alla My
Bloody Valentine e rumoristica alla Sonic
Youth. Il nuovo cd, che riprende alcuni pezzi del precedente ep
(leggi koma#9),
viaggia ancora incerto (o libero) su quale strada scegliere, tra
ballate romantiche
(It's too Late, End at the Beginning), pop sbarazzino in lingua
jappanoise
(la traccia di apertura), o noise new-yorkese su Let Them Wait, - dividendosi
o unendosi alla voce Lei e James Hanna
(oramai
dimentico dei tempi in cui il cursore del volume del suo microfono era
a meno
di uno), spesso struggenti ed evocativi (Taiyo). Mp3 presenti
su mp3.com,
e sul Loro sito, - naturalmente consigliati.

I feel sort of lucky, because i have had the chance to follow step by step Asobi Seksu's genesis, - translation for Sport Fuck, that is Their former name (check out past reviews): at the beginning The Thing was Theta Wave State (interviewed on koma#1), - psych(o)edelic amazing Band from New York, lost on slow lysergical trips. Then japanese muse Yuki Chikudate joined the Band for a track on Their first and only full lenght and it's been Luv. - Line-up changed, and Asobi Seksu started a new trip on indie lo-fi pop Music, calling droning distorted guitars à la My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth-ish noise. - New cd, containing some of fomer ep too (read koma#9) - floats sort of doubtfull (or still free to decide) between romantic ballads (It's too Late, End at the Beginning), catchy pop in japa-noise language (opening track) or new-york print noise too, on Let Them Wait, - with Her and James Hanna (now forgot of epoch when his microphone volume was on less 1), often melancholic and evocative (Taiyo). Well, have listen on mp3.com or Their homepage.
