Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for "casual sex") is an indie band based in New York City. Their music draws influence from the shoegazing genre, and similarly uses a textured and effects-heavy vocal and guitar sound. The band consists of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards) and James Hanna (guitar, vocals).
Asobi Seksu released their eponymous debut album in 2004. The band regrouped with a new rhythm section for their second album, Citrus, which was recorded in Gigantic Studios, New York City with producer Chris Zane. Released in 2006 by Friendly Fire.
One Little Indian Records re-released the band's first album Asobi Seksu and the follow-up Citrus in 2007.
Asobi Seksu was featured in the fifth episode of the fifth season of the American hit television show The L Word, and the first episode of the third season of the British television series Skins.
