Sounds Like
PRESS FOR HUSH MOJO **** (4 stars): “Cavernous, post-shoegazing pop from Brooklyn”
SPIN **** (4 stars): “This Brooklyn group's previous albums established them as shoegaze confectioners, molding candy swirls out of Yuki Chikudate's soaring, translucent voice and guitarist James Hanna's Kevin Shields–worshiping production. But here, Asobi Seksu do something My Bloody Valentine can't -- leave Shields behind. "Sing Tomorrow's Praise" and "Me & Mary" evoke iciness over icing, with more expansive cool than insidious sweetness. And the duo's seasick guitars ("Layers"), ethereal synths ("Gliss"), and Japanese lyricism ("Meh No Mae") still provide plenty of geeky studio epiphanies.”
UNCUT **** (4 stars): “Sumptuous slices of bliss-pop with an art-punk edge”
PLAN B: “After a period as America's finest shoegaze revivalists, Asobi Seksu now leave genres behind and document the night sky”
THE FLY: “Yuki Chikudate's vocals are sweet, but dangerously amplified”
CLASH: “Contenders for being one of the most inventive bands out there”
MONOCLE: “Hush is their best yet: dreamy pop that drips with infectious imagination while handily living up their unusual name”
