Xiu Xiu - La Foret - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A feverish and disturbing set of songs, but it's also some of the group's most accessible. His songs play out like bedroom symphonies, bedroom confessions over chimes and gonging bells and industrial beats and buttery guitar leads that slide through the songs like a straight razor opening up skin. Elaborate, ornate and bubbling over with noise, but wit a sense of less-is-more; minimalism over excess. Album Tracks 1. Buzz Saw 2. Boy Soprano 3. Hello from Eau Claire 4. Vulture Piano 5. PJ in the Streets 6. Bishop, Ca 7. Saint Pedro Glue Stick 8. The Pineapple Vs the Watermelon 9. Save Me Save Me 10. The Fox and the Rabbit 11. Wig Master

New Zealand born, Melbourne-based Sarah Mary Chadwick has announced her eighth studio record Messages to God due out September 15 on Kill Rock Stars and executive produced by award winning producer, Tony Epsie (oracle to The Avalanches). Composed of broad, brightly coloured spiritual strokes, it consists of dramatic retellings of having your heart broken, existing, movement and growth while always meditating on the past. While her three most recent records were drenched in grief, the new collection signals a change; whether profound or momentary, time will tell. Messages to God is a beautifully realized record. It's not happy but it is funny and optimistic. It is melodramatic, self-serving and generous. Sometimes, from way back in the shitty seats of the theater, you're at your closest to god. That's what this record is like, finding beauty in everyday occurrences. Because it's there. You just gotta look really hard sometimes. And as Chadwick provides, InchBecause every day's just one more day / trying to write messages to god'. Album Tracks 1. Don't Tell Me I'm a Good Friend 2. I Felt Things in New Zealand 3. Angry and Violent 4. Drinkin' on a Tuesday 5. Shifty Town 6. Sometimes I Just Wanna Feel Bad 7. Someone Else's Baby 8. Only Bad Memories Last 9. C'mon Stud 10. Looked Just Like Jesus
