About the Artist
Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for "playful sex") released its debut album in 2004 to significant critical acclaim, winning rave reviews from the New York Times, Nylon, Under the Radar, YRB, and XLR8R, among others; scoring a #1 video on mtvU's Dean's List with the song "Walk on the Moon;" garnering a top ten spot on CMJ's radio charts; and becoming an instant favorite in the NYC scene, playing packed shows at the Bowery, Knitting Factory, and Mercury Lounge. Frontwoman Yuki's voice is more assured than ever, swinging from a girlish falsetto to plaintive laments and switching effortlessly between Japanese and English lyrics, all the while anchored by the lush, turbulent guitar of James Hanna. Asobi Seksu have always been masters at creating musical textures; gauzy, cloudy dreamscapes for their slower songs and squalls of guitar and daisy-chained effect pedals for their barnstormers.
Product Description
The first live release from Asobi Seksu. This Brooklyn, NY based indie electo rock band has created quite a buzz with their recent CMJ performances and national touring. This multi-tracked live recording captures the band in front of a screaming crowrd that inspires the band performance to reach greatness.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good for the Asobi Fan,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spaceland Presents: At the Echo October 6th, 2006 (Audio CD)
This live album is a must-have for someone who is already a big fan of this shoegaze quartet. The songs are performed flawlessly, and its always fun to hear little bits of on-stage banter about nothing at all.
If you aren't already a fan of this band, I wouldn't start with this album (go with their self-titled debut instead. The production quality on this album is the only reason I wouldn't give it 5 stars. Granted Asobi is a a small-label band with only so much money to put into a live album, but the production on this is about as good as fan recorded bootlegs you'll find these days.
