There are no surprises with this new single from Asobi Seksu – once again, the band find themselves attracting the same adjectives as a pre-sex, high school heart-throb. The ‘dreamy’ New Yorkers make ‘nice, winsome’ pop, but come the rush of puberty they’re ultimately forgotten in favour of something more immediately stimulating, like clumsy hormonal grapping or Diddy Kong Racing or No Age.

With better tunes than Kiss Me Deadly and a smarter cut than many others, they aren’t exactly a bad band, but then they aren’t a particularly memorable one, either - mining rock trends like Blondie, but where Debbie Harry had the cartoon gold of punk to colour her pop, Yuki Chikudate has the infinitely less distinct shape of shoegaze which, all in all, leaves ‘_Goodbye’ sounding rather flat.
