The signs in Chris Zane’s (Passion Pit, The Walkmen) studio couldn’t have been any clearer: “Don’t Overthink It.” Or as Asobi Seksu guitarist James Hanna puts it, “This time, our agenda was to not have one at all; to be mellow about the entire process instead of obsessing over everything.”

Maybe mellow isn’t the right word, unless he’s comparing ‘Fluorescence’, the band’s fourth proper full length, to a coiled-up cobra – a temperamental type that’s often one false move away from striking.

After all, ‘Coming Up’ sets the scene by plowing into beehive-like synth lines and warp speed washes of dream-pop that leave you wondering just what the Hell is going on.

Things don’t let up on ‘Trails’ – catchy and chaotic to the core, the sky-scraping song pays homage to the pitch-perfect songwriting of the 60s by chartering a yellow submarine to the moon.

Throughout ‘Fluorescence’, Asobi Seksu further refine the bombastic but beautiful blend of hailstorm hooks and fog-shrouded 4AD-isms they’ve spent the last decade perfecting.

Available on limited edition deluxe 180g gatefold pink coloured vinyl with download code (1500 copies worldwide).
