the rabbits of the night

so i finally got the asobi seksu album in the mail the other day, and it was worth the wait. it's 11 songs, 8 of which are sung by yuki (forgive me if that's spelled wrong), and they're captivating. she's got a really cool, wavering, frail sounding voice. some of the songs are sung in japanese, some in english, but either way, they're fantastic. highlights for me include the 2 singles, "i'm happy but you don't like me" (catchy to the point where you might have trouble getting it out of your head enough to fall asleep) and "walk on the moon". two other gems are "umi de no jisatsu", and "stay", the slow, moody song. they're clearly fans of "loveless"...and there are times, listening to the sticky sweet boy/girl harmonies, you'd swear it was the early 90's. and oh, the other 3 tracks, sung by...um, the guy....they sound a little plain by comparison. sorry dude, but maybe you could have saved it for the solo album. this is good, catchy stuff. i'd say get on over to insound, and pick this one up. my money's on this band blowing up in a hurry. you want to be able to say you knew them when...
