Our last look at Asobi Seksu came via "Me & Mary," the first single from their third album Hush. In that vein, the New York dream-poppers are releasing a limited-edition 10" that includes a slightly different version of Hush's "Transparence" along with two unreleased tracks from the Hush sessions and a remix of the title track by Aa. For now, here's Yuki Chikudate & Co. digging into the sunny (then icy, windy) "Transparence." Hardcore indie-pop trivia buffs will note a new introduction.
