Formed in 2001 under the name Sportfuck, dream-pop duo Yuki Chikudate and James Hanna became Asobi Seksu (almost a Japanese translation of their original name – it comes out as ‘playful sex’) after the release of their first EP. Their eponymous debut album was released in 2004, though it was with the follow-up, ‘Citrus’, that they really began to receive critical acclaim, a trend that was continued with third album, ‘Hush’, in 2009.

Their latest album, ‘Flourescent’, was released in February this year, preceded by the single ‘Trails‘, which was coincidentally remixed by last week’s playlisters Deerhoof.

Handing over her carefully thought out choices, she said: “This selection of songs is what makes me happy right now. And would make me happy any time, any day.
