"Citrus is thirteen slices of guitar-swirling, sweet-and-sour, bilingual dream pop. Frontwoman Yuki's voice is assured, swirling from a girlish falsetto to plaintive laments and switching effortlessly between Japanese and English, all the while anchored by the lush, turbulent guitar of James Hanna. Asobi Seksu (colloquial Japanese for playful sex) released their debut album in the States in 2004 to significant critical acclaim. They have always been masters at creating musical textures: gauzy, cloudy dreamscapes for their slower songs and squalls of guitar and daisy-chained effect pedals for their barnstormers. What truly distinguishes Citrus though, is that the band has married this ability to a finely honed pop sensibility. The songs aren't just pretty, they're melodically rich and incredibly catchy." - One Little Independent
