Asobi Seksu are a band possessing talent and ability far beyond their years and with Citrus they have fully realised their potential in a particularly short time. It is difficult to see how they will be able to better this sophomore release, but you wouldn't bet against them having a few trump cards left up their collective sleeves.
-
There's plenty of pop tunes here, but there's also enough self expression and leftfield rambling to make this an album of real interest.
-
Nearly everything about Citrus is so accomplished, refined, and downright transcendent that it could very well stand alongside Loveless as a modernized shoegaze staple.
-
Although Loveless and Psychocandy are obvious reference points, this album actually succeeds most on its charming, candy-colored pop songs.
-
If this isn't the album you are blaring out of your car all summer long, you aren't having enough fun.
-
One of the year's best guitar-rock albums.
