I hadn't listened to Asobi Seksu yet. The name of the band is pretty funny :lol: :lol: :lol: . In japanese, asobi seksu can be translated as playful sex.

I heard Hush was more straight forward indie rock than gaze. True?

I wouldn't say so. It's really really blissed out. It's way less guitar shoegazey if thats what you mean, but it's still blissed out as fuck. Beautiful album. I prefer it to citrus. Much more there own sound.

I don't really place too much on labels, but I guess to me the difference between dream pop and shoegaze is the guitar. :idk:

Yeah, Thursday is quite amazing.

yeah my ex got me into them, I much prefer them over the Cocteau Twins.

You should check out their earlier stuff, Loved is a great album, particularly "Lilies", has a sort of JAMC type guitar sound.

Nice :love:
