Xiu Xiu (XMFX - USA - Jan 26) – Xiu Mutha Fuckin’ Xiu: Vol. 1
16.01.26
This is Xiu Xiu having fun in public and somehow not ruining it, which already feels like a minor miracle. Instead of treating these songs like museum pieces or cheap shock vehicles, they handle them like half-remembered nightmares you can’t quite shake the next morning, bending familiar melodies until they feel bruised but still recognisable. The arrangements are stripped, warped and occasionally tender, with Jamie Stewart sounding less like he’s exorcising demons and more like he’s quietly befriended them. What really works is the balance: the band resist the urge to completely dismantle the originals, letting the emotional spine of each track survive while smuggling in their usual unease through texture, pacing and tone. It’s reverent without being polite, strange without being obnoxious, and oddly moving in places you don’t expect. For a covers record, it feels unusually personal, like a mixtape made by someone who loves these songs enough to risk embarrassing himself in front of them.
