Our Take

XIU XIU, the avant-garde project led by the enigmatic Jamie Stewart, has always pushed the boundaries of experimental music. Their latest offering, "Girl With Basket Of Fruit," is no exception. With a title that evokes both innocence and unease, this album is a chaotic sonic journey that will leave you both intrigued and slightly disturbed.

From the cacophonous opening track "Girl With Basket Of Fruit" to the haunting beauty of "Pumpkin Attack on Mommy and Daddy," XIU XIU showcases their fearless approach to songwriting. Stewart's haunting vocals are paired with an eclectic mix of unconventional instrumentation, ranging from harsh noise to delicate strings.

The lyrics on this album are as cryptic as ever, with themes of love, violence, and paranoia weaving throughout. Stewart's delivery is raw and emotional, adding a layer of intensity to each track. "Scisssssssors" is a prime example of this, with its frantic energy and piercing lyrics leaving a lasting impact.

While "Girl With Basket Of Fruit" may not be for the faint of heart, it is a bold and fearless statement from XIU XIU. This album is a challenging listen, but for those willing to dive into its dark and twisted world, it is a rewarding experience.XIU XIU, the avant-garde project led by the enigmatic Jamie Stewart, has always pushed the boundaries of experimental music.

About the artist

Xiu Xiu

XIU XIU, the avant-garde musical project fronted by the enigmatic Jamie Stewart, is a sonic force to be reckoned with. With a career spanning over two decades, XIU XIU has consistently pushed the boundaries of experimental music, blending genres like noise, folk, and electronic to create a sound that is wholly unique. Stewart's haunting vocals, coupled with his raw and confessional lyrics, have earned XIU XIU a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim. With each album, XIU XIU delves deeper into the realms of darkness and introspection, exploring themes of trauma, death, and the complexities of human emotion. Known for their intense and unapologetically weird live performances, XIU XIU is a band that demands attention. From Stewart's erratic stage presence to the unpredictable nature of their setlists, a XIU XIU show is an experience like no other. Despite their often bleak subject matter, there is a certain beauty in XIU XIU's music. Stewart's ability to find light in the darkest of places is what sets XIU XIU apart from their contemporaries. Their music is a cathartic journey through the depths of the human psyche, a sonic exploration of the fragility and resilience of the human spirit. In a music industry that often favours predictability over innovation, XIU XIU stands out as a true original. With each release, XIU XIU continues to defy expectations, challenging listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and embrace the beauty of the unconventional. XIU XIU is not just a band – they are a statement, a manifesto for the outsider, the misfit, and the dreamer.
