What you sayNo-one has reviewed Women As Lovers by Xiu Xiu yet.
What the label says:VINYL VERSION OF THE LATEST XIU XIU REELASE: XIU XIU HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN AMONG THE MUSIC BLOGGERS AS PROLIFIC, BORDERING ONCRAZED, BUT WITH THIS NEW 14-SONG ALBUM, EACH SONG SO DIFFERENT FROM THE NEXT AND SOFULLY REALIZED, THEIR CREATIVE FEROCITY IS SIMPLY ASTONISHING AND RAPIDLY TAKING ON NEWDIMENSIONS.WITH A HEART TOO SENSITIVE TO ACCEPT HUMANITY'S DARKER SIDE YET ALSO UNABLE TO FLINCHFROM IT, XIU XIU IS A WAY OF "OWNING YOUR OWN SHADOW." JAMIE STEWART HAS A NOVELIST'SEYE FOR JUICY DETAILS, AND A POET'S ABILITY TO WRING IMPOSSIBLE EMOTIONS OUT OF THEENGLISH LANGUAGE, FINDING BLACK HUMOR WHERE THERE IS USUALLY HORROR, FINDING HORRORWHERE THERE IS USUALLY APATHY. AND STEWART'S HISTORY-SPANNING VISIONS OF BIRTH ANDDEATH HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS MORE CLEARLY.THE PERFORMANCES, LED BY STEWART'S ONE-OF-A-KIND VOICE, ARE INTENSE, VIRTUOSIC ANDPAINTED IN A SPECTRUM OF ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRONIC COLORS THAT ONE WOULD BE HARDPRESSED TO FIND EQUALED ON ANY ALBUM. MANY OF THE SONGS FEATURE WHAT IS NOW OFFICIALLYTHE LIVE LINE-UP OF THE GROUP, WITH STEWART AND CARALEE MCELROY JOINED BY CHESSMITH ON DRUMS AND DEVIN HOFF ON BASS. WOMEN AS LOVERS MARRIES THE ANCIENT WITH THE FUTURISTIC, EACH IN ALL THEIR BEAUTYAND TERROR. |
