 | | Description: | La Foret by Xiu Xiu, released 30 April 2009.
This version of La Foret comes as a 1xCD. - To hear Xiu Xiu is to be shaken, disturbed and shown something original. Jamie Stewart sings haunted and tortued, though always with a sense of humor somwhere below the poisoned blood. LA FORE is the most harrowing and beautiful to date, waltzing between acoustic parts so intimate you can hear his shoe scooting on the studio floor as he inches closer to the mic, and pounding dark-wave thunderstomrs where electronics go Mogwai lound and Jaime screams over the hissing, spitting deluge.Recorded in Albany, CA, Seattle, WA and Oakland, CA.
Enhanced CD with with bonus video for "Bog People"
Packaged in a clear sleeve with a white divider and a four-page cover-booklet."La Forêt" is an experimental CD album by the avant-garde band Xiu Xiu, released by the independent label 5rc. The record explores dark, emotional and highly personal soundscapes, combining fragile melodies with abrasive noise elements, sparse electronics, and unconventional song structures. Lyrically, "La Forêt" delves into themes such as vulnerability, loss, identity and emotional upheaval, resulting in an intense listening experience that feels intimate and confrontational at the same time. The production emphasizes contrasts: whisper-quiet passages are juxtaposed with sudden eruptions of sound, while acoustic instruments, lo-fi textures and haunting vocals intertwine in a way that keeps the listener in constant tension. This CD is particularly suited for listeners who appreciate challenging, genre-defying music that blurs the lines between art-pop, experimental rock and sound art.
Xiu Xiu is known as a project that consistently pushes the boundaries of indie and experimental music. Over the years, the band has built a dedicated international cult following through a series of highly distinctive albums and intense live performances. Their work is often praised for its emotional honesty, uncompromising artistic vision and willingness to tackle difficult subject matter. With releases that have repeatedly appeared in critics' year-end lists and have been discussed in influential music outlets, Xiu Xiu has established itself as one of the most recognizable names in contemporary experimental art-rock.
