Asobi Seksu was an American shoegaze/dream pop band based in New York City. Their music used a textured and effects-heavy vocal and guitar sound. The band primarily consisted of Yuki Chikudate (vocals, keyboards) and James Hanna (guitar, vocals). — Wikipedia
During their active years (2001–2013), the band used various typographic interpretations of the band name, but Motter Ombra in all caps was a recurring theme, in album art, on posters, and elsewhere.

In the early 2000s in NYC, this band was everywhere but now they’re long gone and long forgotten. It’s kind of a shame because Sean McCabe also designed a whole bunch of great gig posters for them, which is what they were known for in NYC at the time. It seems like Asobi wiped most of their online presence along with their posters. Not even Sean McCabe keeps a website anymore or any record of their very creative and eye-catching posters. He’s even changed his entire style to a more generic collage style than his creative and bold earlier style for the posters.
