Our Take
Xiu Xiu's latest offering, "Women As Lovers," is a veritable rollercoaster of emotions and sonic experimentation. Frontman Jamie Stewart's haunting vocals cut through the cacophony of twisted electronic beats and dissonant strings, creating a visceral listening experience that is equal parts captivating and unsettling. From the frenetic opening track "I Do What I Want When I Want" to the hauntingly beautiful "Under Pressure," Xiu Xiu deftly navigates through a myriad of genres and influences, never once sticking to a predictable formula. The band's willingness to push boundaries and defy expectations is both admirable and frustrating, leaving listeners unsure of what to expect next. Lyrically, "Women As Lovers" delves into deeply personal and introspective territory, with Stewart's confessional lyrics laying bare his innermost thoughts and fears. Tracks like "Guantanamo Canto" and "White Nerd" tackle weighty subject matter with a raw honesty that is both cathartic and confronting. While some may find Xiu Xiu's avant-garde sound off-putting, there is no denying the sheer talent and creativity on display here. "Women As Lovers" is a challenging listen, but for those willing to delve into its dark and twisted depths, it is a truly rewarding experience. Xiu Xiu may not be for everyone, but for those who appreciate bold experimentation and fearless artistry, this album is a must-listen.
