Polyvinyl recording artist, Asobi Seksu, are heading out on tour in support of their latest release, Hush.

The band's sugar-coated pop and shoegaze sensibility gained mucho attention five years ago with the release of their self-titled debut. Since then, they've shrunk to a duo (singer-keyboardist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist James Hanna) resulting in a less guitar-driven sound with a greater focus on the pulsating lushness found on Hush.

The band kicks off the tour March 2nd and cover most of the U.S. The complete dates are available after the jump.
