Asobi Seksu- Rewolf

Add Date: January 12
Artist: Asobi Seksu
Album: Rewolf
Label: Polyvinyl
Genre: Acoustic


This EP has vocalist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist James Hanna reworking the band’s tracks into acoustic songs that are true gems. By stripping down their songs from each albums, the pair highlight the true beauty of songs that may have been overlooked when filtered through Asobi Seksu’s usual shoegaze sound. Chikudate’s voice is stunningly delicate and ethereal, and Hanna provides pretty melodic backdrops with little more than an acoustic guitar and a xylophone. It’s refreshing to see a band take a good long look back on their discography and offer up such startlingly different versions of their old tracks. Absolutely gorgeous.
