Fujiya & Miyagi played a packed house at (le) Poisson Rouge last Tuesday, February 17th. The sold out show opened up with School of Seven Bells, playing their last show in New York before hitting the road. The trio played their shoe-gazing tunes to an accepting crowd that was seemingly there to spend a night dancing away from their NYU studies.
Eager and excitable masses more than welcomed Fujiya & Miyagi as they took their place on stage chanting and dancing away to the 70′s infused krautrock. The Brighton boys are on their tour through the U.S. until the end of March when they head to the UK to continue rockin’ out. Catch them if you can!
Asobi Seksu‘s new album Hush will be available everywhere February 17th and I urge you to make it available to yourselves. The album is expectant of the future and it’s brightly promising lyrics evoke hopefulness.
The group’s third LP is exceptional from their other shoe-gazing works in that their sound is stripped down, revealing the details that make Asobi Seksu the sensation it is. “Layers” opens the album appropriately communicating what is under the surface and giving way to the dream-pop explosions to come. A personal favorite track is “In The Sky”. Lyrically eloquent, Yuki Chikudate’s glistening voice twills away at the effulgent lyrics.
