La Foret
* Xiu Xiu * 5RC
With this deeply original collection of sparse, emotionally intense pieces, Xiu Xiu continues fearlessly mining the more awkward, cruel corners of the human heart. Jamie Stewart's desperate vocals, evoking both a goth-club king and a more unhinged Conor Oberst, hint at sexual depravity and heartless breakups ("You deserve less"). The songs' beats range from Martian-industrial-disco to a simple, arrhythmic smattering of finger cymbals. And the impressively varied sonic palette includes clarinets, autoharp, and 1980s-era video-game gunfire.
