I really need to toss this on a mix or something. In my opinion, this is Xiu Xiu at its best: poppy and accessible, but also chilling and gut-wrenching.

underrated and overrated band depending on the person, i really like jamie stewart but i can't always get down on xiu xiu's stuff all the time. That song and that album are my favorite though. Listen to Muppet Face too thats a gem.

I've given Xiu Xiu many chances for obvious reasons but I just can't get into it.

I agree wholeheartedly. I think this album is where they got it right. When they go too over the top, it borders on parody, but when they play both the pop side and the experimental side against each other, pure brilliance. Again, I think this song exemplifies that aesthetic perfectly.

I need to refresh myself on Muppet Face. My favorite from the newest album in "Pox."

I 'gree...

Jamie Stewart is proof that an artist can be underrated and overrated, all at the same time...

I've heard it's their best from a few people. Join me in waiting it out until September 15 though. If you listen to it now there's nothing to get excited about when it's time to buy it.

Halfway through for the first time, it's really good. Scarey and frightening. But good.
