Our Take
Xiu Xiu has always been the not-so-subtle weirdo in the corner of the music scene, and their latest album La Foret is no exception. This is the kind of album that makes you question your own sanity and wonder if you've accidentally stumbled into a bizarre art-house film. From the opening track "Clover", with its eerie whispers and haunting melodies, it's clear that Xiu Xiu is not here to hold your hand and guide you through a pleasant musical experience. Instead, they drag you kicking and screaming into their twisted world of dark synth-pop and experimental noise. Songs like "Muppet Face" and "Mousey Toy" are perfect examples of Xiu Xiu's ability to blend beauty and chaos in a way that is both mesmerizing and unsettling. Jamie Stewart's tortured vocals float above a sea of glitchy beats and discordant guitars, creating a cacophony of sound that is as disturbing as it is captivating. But it's not all doom and gloom on La Foret. Tracks like "Bog People" and "Saturn" offer moments of respite, with dreamy melodies and ethereal vocals that provide a brief glimpse of light in the darkness. Overall, Xiu Xiu's La Foret is a challenging listen that is not for the faint of heart. But for those willing to take the plunge into the deep end of experimental music, it is a rewarding and unforgettable experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about music.
