Asobi Seksu

Asobi Seksu is a NY based band with roots in dream pop/shoegaze.
They've released about 4 albums, but I've only really had the chance to listen to their most lauded one, "Citrus".
The first 3 songs (not counting the opener, the 17 second Everything Is On) are pretty amazing. Infact, I like them so much, that whenever I find myself listening to that album, I get stuck on those tracks and can't listen to it all the way through. I'm sure that whenever I manage to do it successfully, I'll find other great tunes, though.
The fuzzy guitar layers create that dreamy sound one would expect from a band based on dream pop/shoegaze, along with Yuki Chikudate's voice (hope I didn't mess up there) really put in you a hypnotic state, and a blissful one at that.
I'm sure many of you know about them, since they've been around for about 9 years, but I thought they could do with a thread, and i couldn't find one on here, so SHAZZAM.
