Counterglow by Asobi Seksu

We’ve been fans of Asobi Seksu’s shimmering guitars and fairy-esque vocals since their sophomore masterpiece Citrus.  Their newest album, Fluorescence, pulls back the reigns to offer a pop oriented approach.  The magic is still in the pudding tho; they just turned down the My Bloody Valentine influence in favor of more Cocteau Twins.

Yuki Chikudate holds down the vocals on all the tracks except the track we posted above, where guitarist James Hanna steps in with a glo-fi swagger.  It sounds more Lemonade than Asobi.

Salsaness by Radiation City

Portland 4-piece Radiation City blends bossa-influenced pop with darker dream drones (check out the track “Summer Is Not An Act 1” for the latter).  Although a few acts come to mind (Mosquitos, Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Télépopmusik), Rad City occupies a unique space of its own.

You can stream/purchase the full album on their bandcamp and grab the cassette release via Apes Tapes.

They are currently on a west coast tour that you can follow on their tumblr.  Catch them at the Silverlake Lounge on Wednesday 5/4.
