Asobi Seksu, the band poised to steal the hearts and minds of dreamy indie-pop Brooklyn new-music-junkies around the world*, are hitting the road again (TMT News), but this time in support of everybody's favorite French accordionist/cafe background music creator extraordinaire, Yann Tiersen. Asobi just released Hush on Polyvinyl this last February, while Tiersen's last album was released in 2005, but judging from the fact that you probably have one of his accordion melodies already stuck in your head, does it really matter how long ago Les Retrouvailles was released? I just hope someone can make a decent double short dry soy cappuccino at the show. Yann's music sure does make me want to drink some coffee.
