Their sound has been said to draw influence from the shoegazing movement of the late 1980s to early 1990s, which was coined to describe the textured and effects-heavy sound of alternative rock in that era.
Asobi Seksu released their eponymous debut album in 2004. The band regrouped with a new rhythm section for their second album, Citrus, which was recorded in Gigantic Studios, New York City with producer Chris Zane.
One Little Indian Records re-released the band's first album Asobi Seksu and the follow-up Citrus in 2006.
The band changed its name to Asobi Seksu from the previous name Sportfuck when they signed to their current label.
The band announced an indefinite hiatus on September 30, 2013, but hinted that they hope to create more music eventually.

Let Them Wait
Asobi Seksu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you're looking for you won't find
And tell your sister to wait a while
He's been drinking and losing style
If anyone complains, at least my hands are dry
My slate's been wiped clean, and you'll be gone a while
But please be quiet now, the crowd was right
And tie your loose ends up inside
I'm not joking man, you don't try
If anyone complains, at least my hands are dry
My slate's been wiped clean, and you'll be gone a while
Tell your girlfriend what was mine
What you're looking for you won't find
The lyrics to Asobi Seksu's song "Let Them Wait" appear to be a message to someone who has wronged the singer in some way - perhaps a romantic partner who has cheated, or a friend who has betrayed them. The first two lines are particularly interesting: "Tell your girlfriend what was mine / What you're looking for you won't find." This seems to suggest that the singer's ex-partner has moved on to someone new, but the singer believes that they will not be able to find what they had with them.
The chorus further reinforces this idea of letting go: "If anyone complains, at least my hands are dry / My slate's been wiped clean, and you'll be gone a while." The singer seems to be saying that although they've been hurt, they're not going to make a scene about it. They're ready to move on and forget about the person who has wronged them.
The third verse is more ambiguous: "And tie your loose ends up inside / I'm not joking man, you don't try / If anyone complains, at least my hands are dry / My slate's been wiped clean, and you'll be gone a while." It's unclear who the singer is addressing here - perhaps the person they've been wronged by, or perhaps someone else entirely. The final line of the song, "Tell your girlfriend what was mine / What you're looking for you won't find," is repeated to bring the song full circle.
Overall, "Let Them Wait" seems to be about the process of letting go - of someone who has hurt you, of old grudges and resentments, of the need for revenge. It's a song about moving on, wiping the slate clean, and looking forward to a new beginning.
