CANCELLED: Xiu Xiu

Xiu Xiu is the band project led by its founder Jamie Stewart, the only surviving member of the original line-up. Critics attach labels like »indie-rock band« or »post-punk« to Xiu Xiu, but these by no means do justice to the band’s sound. The new album »Girl with Basket of Fruit« is once again an absolute contrast to its predecessor »Forget«, where transience and death were the dominant themes. But then Xiu Xiu doesn’t want to be pigeonholed in a particular genre: the group wants to be unique, completely different from any other band, and they explore all manner of extremes in the process.
