*********************************

This will be a famous album. To hear it is to remember music's native
purpose, a howl against the gloom.
Xiu Xiu has long been known among the music bloggers as prolific,
bordering on crazed, but with this new 14-song album, each song so
different from the next and so fully realized, their creative ferocity is
simply astonishing and rapidly taking on new dimensions.
With a heart too sensitive to accept humanity's darker side yet also
unable to flinch from it, Xiu Xiu is a way of "owning your own shadow."
Jamie Stewart has a novelist's eye for juicy details, and a poet's ability
to wring impossible emotions out of the English language, finding black
humor where there is usually horror, finding horror where there is usually
apathy. And Stewart's history-spanning visions of birth and death have
never come across more clearly.
The performances, led by Stewart's one-of-a-kind voice, are intense,
virtuosic and painted in a spectrum of acoustic and electronic colors
that one would be hard pressed to find equaled on any album. Many of
the songs feature what is now officially the live line-up of the group,
with Stewart and Caralee McElroy joined by Ches Smith on drums
and Devin Hoff on bass. Women As Lovers marries the ancient with the
futuristic, each in all their beauty and terror. Traditional gongs collide
with a rat's nest of computerized layering.
Many a commentator feared that the "democratization" of recording
technology would result in a profusion of mediocre music with substandard
production values, and while this is largely true, they failed to see
another more exciting outcome. The ability to create music at home
with no clock ticking has allowed for a new level of care that would put
to shame the production tour de forces of another era. In the past
couple of years a new sound in popular music is being created, and
new masters of this unforeseen style are emerging. And Xiu Xiu is fast
becoming the standard against which any claims of meticulousness
must be judged.
Make no mistake. No other Xiu Xiu album has ever been more
approachable or communicative on a basic human level. What people
sometimes fail to recognize is that Stewart is writing about all of us, not
a freak writing about freakish things. He voices what the rest of us have
a hard time voicing and the feelings in the music are ones that we can
all relate to.
**This is a limited edition version of Women As Lovers that comes with a DVD of 16 videos, 4 mini tour videos, and 100 photos. All for free! Only 500 available through our mail order.**
