Asobi Seksu - Perfectly Crystal

Asobi Seksu means playful sex in Japanese, but don't worry, the namesake dream pop duo isn't playing bedroom music.  They blend shoegaze guitars with psychedelic-meets-pop vocals that will really take you into a far away land of playfulness (and if sex is waiting for you there, then so be it).  And they're from Brooklyn?  Even better.

"Perfectly Crystal" pulses with music from dreams.  The guitars yawn, every word glitters, and there is synth.  It's been a while since I've gotten too far into that, but any synth is good synth to me.  Yuki Cikudate kind of reminds me of the girls of The Pipettes, but in this case she's a little more psych.  So here's what I want you do to.  Plug in "Perfectly Crystal," take a walk outside, and see how much brighter the overcast world will become.  You'd be surprised.
