Our Take

Xiu Xiu's debut album, "Knife Play," is a cacophonous journey into the depths of experimental indie music. With its eclectic mix of discordant melodies, haunting vocals, and avant-garde production, this album is not for the faint of heart. From the frenetic energy of tracks like "Don Diasco" to the eerie beauty of "Hives Hives," Xiu Xiu keeps listeners on edge with their unpredictable soundscapes. Jamie Stewart's chilling vocals add an extra layer of intensity to the already intense instrumentation, making for a truly mesmerising listening experience. While "Knife Play" may not be everyone's cup of tea, it's hard to deny the creativity and originality on display here. Xiu Xiu's fearless approach to music-making is a breath of fresh air in an industry often plagued by mediocrity. Fans of experimental music will no doubt find something to love in "Knife Play," but even those with more mainstream tastes can appreciate the sheer audacity of Xiu Xiu's sound. This album is a sonic rollercoaster that will leave you both exhilarated and thoroughly unsettled. Strap in and prepare to have your musical boundaries pushed to the limit.
