I haven’t been paying much attention to Asobi Seksu since Hush came out (it kind of bummed me out). But I noticed today that they have a limited edition 10″ coming out on Polyvinyl next month, featuring two versions of the Hush cut “Transparence” (the album version and a remix), and two Hush outtakes, “Urusai Tori” (which my bad Japanese translates to “noisy bird”) and “Minature Cities”. Like much of Hush, “Transparence” isn’t a bad song, but it never quite regains consciousness from the murky production and lack of dynamics. So maybe the remix will be an improvement?
Anyway, you can pre-order the record here. I’m hoping that it will be available digitally at some point, because I haven’t had a record player in years, and anyway that album art is hideous (what happened to these guys? they used to have awesome album art).
