As far as I am concerned, one of my favourite albums for this 2023. Pure emotion. "...to disobey and to reorganize horror; there is no other word for it other than horror..."
full ass banger right here. But seriously it doesnt feel overly dramatic or theatrical. It feels like the stillness you might feel after something terrible has happened. That moment where the responsibility hasnt hit you yet and the pain hasnt either. Everything stops and emotions are just starting to materialize- this album sounds like that formation and confusion.
The last 3 minutes of For M are some of the more intense minutes in Xiu Xiu's whole discography. It feels like something unimaginably horrible is about to happen. If the track were used in a horror movie, I'd shit my pants
Listen'd to this today at work and loved every second. I wasn't as impressed with the lyrics as I was the instrumental, but it was still fantastic. Can't wait for the new album!
If we're putting this in a spiritual trilogy with angel guts and girl with basket of fruit, I feel like this is going to be my favorite of the three. Too early to tell of course but on my first listen I can firmly say that this record is an exemplar of how to be harsh and dissonant in a subtle and atmospheric way. Angela's vocal performances really cement that here and Jamie uses a lot more subdued which maintains the tone and balance of the record. It isn't too synth heavy or too analog/acoustic, it holds both in equal measure. Proud of you lot. Looking forward to finally seeing you live.
I've spent years sifting through this noise, waiting & searching for another "I love the valley OH", or "Fabulous Muscles", and nothing ever quite hit like those tracks, but they're such good songs that I'm still trying to convince myself that I enjoy the rest of Xiu Xiu.
They do straddle a line between pretentious and eccentric I suppose. I find a lot more 'normal' sounding music to be derivative and boring. I never let an artist's pretention scare me. In their day, painters like Salvador Dali were considered eccentrics. Writers such as Edgar Allan Poe were also seen that way. Then you have people like Madonna selling out large stadiums with $500 seats.

Hereditary post-head moment
Post
Head
Lol
this somehow feels even darker and more pitch black than gwbof, i love it, it's so cursed, jesus.
like this album radiates pure dread and terror.
gwbof is the black you see when you close your eyes, this album is like nothing, null, void, something unimaginable to a nonblind person
@@Interruptor7 this is a great analogy, i love it

I hope Xiu Xiu do the next score for a survival horror video game
Feels like nurse with wound with a splash of residents
got too scared and had to stop listening half way through - love my xiu xiu🖤🖤
We love you, Xiu Xiu!

Dracula Parrot, Moon Moth was recommended to me randomly today and immediately loved it, so glad I get to listen to the whole album here. 🖤🦇
Perhaps the most unsettling thing I've heard since Bish Bosch.
When I introduce Xiuxiu so someone that doesn't know them, I always say "THIS IS my brain and this is my soul"
Already one of my favs

Pretentious AF
Shut up
Tell me this is your first time listening to Xiu Xiu without telling me this is your first time listening to Xiu Xiu
Believe it or not, other people have and enjoy ideas that don't occur to you.
