(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: Asobi Seksu
Album Title: Citrus
Year released: 2006
Year reissued: 2017
Details: 2 x LP, Black vinyl, 180 gram, gatefold
The skinny: Asobi Seksu was the first of a number of shoegaze/dream pop revival bands that I came across in the early to mid-2000s and was perhaps the best of these. “Citrus” was the group’s sophomore release and was a thing of beauty, calling to mind both Lush and My Bloody Valentine.
Standout track: “Strawberries”

Not familiar with this lot at all. Lovely looking LP, as Aaron says. Reckon I’d like to check this one out.

The fold out gatefold sleeve is almost worthy of framing as a genuine piece of wall art on its own.

Yeah. It’s pretty sweet. Matches the mood of the album perfectly.
