Dreampop, shoegaze, noiserock…not just words that Microsoft
Word Dictionary doesn’t recognize, but the general and vague descriptors of the
music Asobi Seksu makes. The Brooklyn duo’s been crafting this sound – lush,
shimmering, bright, whatever – for almost a decade now. Although you may think
that all of these generalized adjective and band descriptors would fit better
in a larger venue to give them a chance to breathe, the band is playing the
more intimate Schubas on Sunday, September
25th (tickets here) which actually, makes just as much (if not
more) sense. Their newest album, Fluorescence
out earlier this year, starts to move a little bit away from the My Bloody
Valentine noisescape layered walls of sound into a cleaner '60s girl group
territory, although still retaining the volatility of the former. Get a taste with the –lush, shimmering, bright
– video for "Perfectly Crystal" below. As for Sunday, the show is $14, 21+ and starts at 8 PM with White Birds opening.
