Asobi Seksu - Me & Mary

Their name means "casual sex" in Japanese slang and their music would make a lovely soundtrack for the act itself.

After their self-titled debut in 2004, Asobi Seksu graced audiences with their 2006 offering 'Citrus'. Their music is currently gaining mainstream popularity, being featured extensively on British series Skins.

With new album 'Hush' out February 17, there's gonna be a lot of Seksu-y music to go around. To ease us in, let's enjoy their first two-tone video offering for the lead single.

Enjoy, as Pitchfork Media puts it, the "waves of shoegaze distortion layered over sugary indie-pop melodies":
