Actually bought this for a friend's bday. She said it sounded good. Glad this was finally realeased on vinyl.
In general, this is one of my favorite albums ever. Some of that is due to memories of listening to this when it 1st came out, but at the time I instantly connected to it. I've seen the band many times too so maybe a little bias by now. Their second album "Citrus" is a classic too. Although I own the other albums they don't seem as memorable.
This album is a blend of dreampop, shoegaze, jpop and indie rock. One of the songs use to be played on Mtv when they still played music videos.

Asobi Seksu are an excellent band. Their music is dreamy at times but driving at other moments as well. This first album really captures a moment in time. They tend to get classified as shoegazer music, which puts them in a league with some excellent bands from the early '90s like Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Ride, and Swervedriver. This import edition contains a bonus live track that is not on the domestic release -- well worth it. The CD also has a video of the single "Walk On The Moon." If you're looking to expand your musical horizons, this CD is an excellent place to start. If you're a long-time fan of Asobi Seksu, then this enhanced import edition will really satisfy. Either way it's a great album from a great band.
