Xiu Xiu: Cancel Tour For Mental Health Reasons

submitted by Nick Sep 20th 2019 03:00 pm (stereogum.com)

Earlier this year, Xiu Xiu's amorphous and long-running art-pop collective Xiu Xiu released their album Girl With Basket Of Fruit. They've already toured North America once this year, and they were getting set for another lengthy tour, one that would've taken them across both North America and Europe.

Xiu Xiu: New Xiu Xiu Video - "Dear God, I Hate Myself" (Stereogum Premiere)

submitted by Nick Feb 1st 2010 07:01 pm (stereogum.com)

Jamie Stewart's bleak, evocative art-pop's always had an element of catharsis, a figurative purging about it. As of today it also has an element of literal purging about it. Here he is talking about his (great) new album's title track: The title came from a night a literally being on my knees and speaking these words in a prayer to God. It is ab...

Cold Cave: New Cold Cave Video - "Love Comes Close" (Stereogum Premiere)

submitted by Nick Oct 20th 2009 09:00 pm (stereogum.com)

The title track from BTW Cold Cave's Love Comes Close -- originally released on their own Heartworm Press imprint -- nails a dreamy, soul-sick New Order vibe, but the shape-shifting Philadelphia/New York outfit approach the formula with a much darker undertone (as if Ian Curtis sang "Bizarre Love Triangle," or whatever). The group, which now con...
