Xiu Xiu – La Foret LP (Sunset Swirl Vinyl) Online Sale

Repressed on vinyl for the first time in 15 years. As conceptual as Xiu Xiu s fusion of post-punk, gamelan, synth pop, folk, and noise might seem, the group s music never feels overly cerebral or detached. On the contrary, it s usually brimming over with often contradictory emotions: love, hate, sex, violence, fear, and humor cling together so tightly in Jamie Stewart s songs that they can t be separated. Harsh and beautiful words and sounds remain intertwined on La Forȇt, which ranks among Xiu Xiu s subtlest, and scariest, albums.
