Asobi Seksu Tour Dates

Asobi Seksu will be touring to support the release of their latest LP, Hush, in Europe and North America. Hush will be out on February 17, 2009.

"Hush was written while we felt destroyed," said Asobi Seksu guitarist/vocalist James Hanna. "Which is funny, because the entire record has a phoenix rising vibe to it—a clear sense of shimmering, dew-draped riffs and spiral staircase melodies that are occasionally blurred by bits of guitar violence and sputtering drums. We knew we didn't want to do 7,000 reverb guitars this time. So we stripped the sound down and built it back up from there."
