What the label says:

“Intensity this overwhelming makes you reevaluate your opinion on what emotions music has the right to explore” – Pitchfork. Reissued to coincide with rare UK live dates.
Xiu Xiu (pronounced “shoe shoe” or “show show” but never “zoo zoo”), whose moniker is swiped from the title of the most depressing movie ever, ‘Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl’, emerged from the gape of dissonant, love supremely beautiful, musique serious modern sad sad sad pop played by people who have obsessed over simple house beats or no beats at all / modern classical / pop.
The line-up: Lauren Andrews (bells, synth, piano) is working on a video collection of songs from ‘Knife Play’.
Yvonne Chen (synth, gongs, harmonium) runs the label and zine, Zum Media Internationale.
Cory McCulloch (bass, mandolin, synth) threw-up in the bands ibopa and ten in the swear jar.
Jamie Stewart (vox, programming, guitar) has recorded with members of Devo, the Screamers and Robert Fripp.For 10 bizarre minutes he played bass on stage with G.G. Allin in Los Angeles.
Hallowed ‘Knife Play’ guests: Greg Saunier (Deerhoof), Jason Albertini (Duster) and Ches Smith (Mr.Bungle) and many more geniuses from across Jupiter and Mars.
