Asobi Seksu – Hush (2009)

Yata! the heat has become more tolerable XD. So now, Asobi Seksu, an Indie dream pop/shoegaze band. Shoegaze influenced with the use of variety of effects to create the old alternative rock feel ^^.

If you understand japanese then you’ll be smirking just by reading the name of the band. Asobi = for fun/play/to enjoy ; Seksu = sex. So it’s “Sex for fun” when translated XD. enough with the names, so yeah, the vocalist is a female (japanese), “Yuki Chikudate”.

Each album has a different approach, this release has a more “blissful (Dream Pop)” feel. Still, their songs are really enjoyable ^^.

There are a lot of songs to listen at, one of my favorites is “Sing Tomorrow’s Praise”. I wonder why the song isn’t even listed at the top 20 (last.fm - asobi seksu, most listeners). I really like this song, her voice in this song is presented with elegance and strength (I can hear her voice with detail ^^).

So here, “Sing Tomorrow’s Praise”

This is from the album “Citrus”

School Of Seven Bells – Alpinisms

Had a nice dinner at some place (an advanced celebration for the upcoming father’s day, and no, it’s not for me XD). Well, here to share a band which I’ve been listening to lately. School Of Seven Bells a dream pop/shoegaze band which amazingly has 2 identical female members (one plays the bass, one on the keyboard, both sings ^^) and a guy. “Dream Pop” as their music is described which provides an ethereal, dreamy atmosphere. The vocals are to be noted, reminds me of a specific jazz singer (I forgot the name). The band also gives off a “tribal” feel in some of the songs.

 
I really don’t have that much words to put up to describe the sounds XD. Songs that I often listen to are: "Iamundernodisguise”, “Half Asleep”, “Face To Face On High Places”, “Connjur”, “Prince of Peace”, “My Cabal”. Each track is pleasant, distinct and euphoric. Close your eyes while listening ^^.

Here’s “Half Asleep”

“Iamundernodisguise”

School is about to start again and my nieces aren’t really at their best shape. They’ve been sleeping late and I’m worried. It’s for sure they’ll have a hard time waking up early T_T. I even controlled the internet access over the computer.
