That Asobi Seksu album was one of my favourites of last year, I even did a bit of a review of it!

Una said...

Nice one Paul, I've just started listening to it now

I saw Asobi Seksu in LA in November. Wannabe MBV crossed with the Killers circa Hot Fuss with a rather attractive Asian lady singing poorly. I've heard the album is quite good though.

What's the Delorentos album like? Is the song that sounds like Kieran singing over Explosions In The Sky on it? I like that one.

Una said...

The Delorentos record is really good. Leave It On is brill. What song are you talking about? Must listen again to pick it out.

Ian said...

I think it's called Eyes Open. Only heard it the once but it was a lot different from all their other stuff.

Very much looking forward to the album.

Una said...

oh yeah, that's on it. Good tune.
