| | Xiu Xiu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Xiu Xiu's music appears also to be influenced by bands of the UK post-punk scene such as The Cure and Joy Division (the latter band's song "Ceremony" being covered by Xiu Xiu themselves on the Chapel of the Chimes EP.) |  | | Xiu Xiu's music draws heavily from several disparate genres including punk, noise rock, ambient noise, and folk. |  | | Xiu Xiu continues with splits following their 2005 LP, with musicians such as The Paper Chase, Devendra Banhart and others, along with a collaborative LP titled Ciautistico! |

 | | Xiu Xiu reject the paradox of making pretty music about agonizing experiences, creating a hybrid of disparate elements that can be painful to listen to in all its frenetic glory. |  | | The song "Sad Girl" (later resurrected as a Xiu Xiu track) is an outright catchy sing-a-long bouncing to a cheery bassline. |  | | As it turned out, the new material, along with the acoustic numbers recorded for the split EP with The Jim Yoshii Pile- Up, were sketches for the next Xiu Xiu album. |

 | | Xiu Xiu's music is painfully autobiographical, morose, and histrionic, and is deeply influenced by modern classical, improvisation, British pop and post-punk, techno beats, and, well, the gamelan orchestra. |  | | Xiu Xiu - [ Absolutely Kosher Records ] |  | | Even while Xiu Xiu turns the post-punk paradigm on its head, approaching it from a modern composition perspective that results in all kinds of weird cut-ups, juxtapositions, classical instrumentation, and unexpected arrangements, the comic but dead-serious nihilism of the seminal bands referenced by Stewart pervades Xiu Xiu's music. |

 | | While Xiu Xiu have received accusations of being over-the-top in regards to their lyrical mannerisms, it is notable that every song has regarded a real-life event, a prospect that may put one at unease considering some of the rather bleak topicality tackled in the songs (suicide, depression, abuse). |  | | Xiu Xiu's music has been described as "love-it-or-hate-it," and while it is plainly easy to acknowledge that a certain segment of music lovers will be immediately turned off, the group has managed a sizeable amount of acclaim. |  | | This summer, a new Xiu Xiu album is seeing the light of day, with La Foret marking their fourth full-length in four years. |

 | | The consistent aspect of Xiu Xiu’s music and the emotional pit at the center of this, Stewart’s fourth full-length release, is the condition of their expression: f-u-c-k-e-d. |  | | La Forêt may be Xiu Xiu’s most controlled and sanguine release to date (the tour EP with Yim Yoshii Pile-up and the mostly acoustic “Fag Patrol” aside). |  | | [Xiu Xiu]…doesn't fit into the cookie-cutter definition of "sincere" and "reflective" music that we've come to expect.” Music does not accrete weight because it’s dark in tone and subject. |

 | | Though Xiu Xiu's one EP and three albums (the latest of which is the critically adored Fabulous Muscles) occasionally recall '70s post-punk, '80s techno-pop and queer-oriented music from all eras, the uncompromising complexity and originality of their songs place them in a league of their own. |  | | When Cory McCulloch -- the person who started the band with me -- and I were putting Xiu Xiu together, we had played in bands previously and approached things in a more fictional way, and the songs were OK, but they never really came across in the way that we wanted them to. |  | | I think we did almost 200 hundred photos and only used Dr. Phil in that one, just as sort of a joke, and it was actually the only one that came out. |

 | | Xiu Xiu's first two albums were so dark that it was tough to listen to more than a few songs in one sitting; lyrically, Fabulous Muscles may be even darker. |  | | Stewart claims he has been listening mostly to contemporary classical music and pop; the former influence is hard to hear, but the latter is much more prevalent than on either of the other Xiu Xiu albums. |  | | Still, Fabulous Muscles is the first Xiu Xiu record you can listen to from beginning to end without feeling emotionally overloaded. |
