Capa de "Always", novo disco do Xiu Xiu que sai dia 6 de março O Xiu Xiu se prepara para lançar mais um álbum, intitulado Always e, ao que parece, continua a primar pelos temas obscuros e melancólicos e uma sonoridade fortemente influenciada pelo gótico dos anos 80. Hi , faixa que abre o disco é marcada por linhas de baixo e sintetizadores que podem facilmente ser confundidos com o Sisters of Mercy ou Clan of Xymox , as letras também trazem a desolação marcada [...]
Talk of a new album from Xiu Xiu has been bubbling for a little while now - after all, they didn't release one in 2011, which is strange for them, so one couldn't have been far away.

Those living in the UK and Europe will be able to get their hands on the release on February 28th when it's [...]
Avant synth-pop outfit Xiu Xiu will release their eighth studio album, Always , on March 7th via Polyvinyl Records. As with its predecesor, 20102s Dear God, I Hate Myself , Always was produced by Deerhoof's Greg Saunier. The end result is billed as a commemoration of the band's 10 years together and the intense devotion of their fans, with the record symbolizing "the mutual camaraderie with and deep dedication to each person who has internalized Xiu Xiu's work, tattooed its name on their skin or soul, and throughout the past 10 years made the band [...]

"If you're wasting your life, say 'Hi' / If you're alone tonight, say 'Hi.'" A decade in and Jamie Stewart has only become more adept in his ability to squeeze relatable melodic manna from the most desolate and corporeally vulgar places. His new Xiu Xiu LP is called Always . It has song names like "I Luv Abortion," "Smear The Queen," and in his most bang-on-trend moment yet, a track titled "Born To Suffer" ( Sleigh Bells , Lana Del Rey , meet your mashup artists). The song quoted up front is the album's first single, and it [...]

There has been no shortage of support within the music community for the ongoing Occupy movements. Jeff Mangum , Talib Kweli , Tom Morello , and Crosby Stills and Nash have all delivered performances, and Kanye West an appearance at Occupy Wall Street, and Rage Against the Machine's Zach De La Rocha recently showed his support with a poem . Now, a number of prominent musicians have bonded together and launched their own movement called Occupy Musicians. According to an issued press release , "Occupy Musicians will serve as a resource to facilitate performances [...]

Next week he'll start a new leg of his career with the release of his debut album, Slay & Slake and while the album's under his name, he'll hardly be going it alone. Slay & Slake is a concept album, with Mickens using the heartache of Love's Forever Changes and the social injustice of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On as inspiration. With Mickens [...]
Xiu Xiu - Hyunhye's Theme (Acoustic)
About a month ago, I was at the Polyvinyl Records 15th Anniversary show in downtown Champaign, IL and I had a blast. It was the first time that Pygmalion Festival has done an outdoor stage and it turned out fantastic (I'm hoping they'll bring it back next year). I wanted to do individual reviews for each band but other things kept coming up that got in the way (computer crashing, this site being pharma hacked), and now too much time has lapsed since the event for there to be any hope I'd be able to recap all the greatness that [...]
Click image to download track Sounds like: Nico, Tearist "Zola Jesus - Vessel" What's so good? Zola Jesus is back with another hit music video for her track "Vessel" off her new album Conatus . The video, this time a five minute visual manifestation of a moth's metamorphosis through surreal landscapes, embodies why this girl is absolutely killing it right now. Themes like duality [...]

La artista publicó recientemente su tercer disco bajo la producción John Congleton, colaborador de gente como David Byrne o Xiu Xiu. Te dejamos con el cover en cuestión, que en la voz de la chica suena esplendoroso.

Xiu Xiu scares audiences in the live setting just as much, if not more, as they've unsettled listeners over, what, nine albums. Geez, didn't realize until just now that Jamie Stewart is the reigning Stephen King of exorcism pop. And last Thursday, demons were excised at the Zanzabar, yes sir. Lots of yelling, interspersed with a dash of catharsis. And of course lots of the skewed, almost anthemic fist pumpers Xiu Xiu has been known for since around 20042s Fabulous Muscles . Don't get it twisted though, the show was as intense as [...]
