: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: FORGET was recorded during a period of epic productivity for Xiu :,
: Xiu. While writing FORGET, they released the lauded Plays the :
:' Music of Twin Peaks, collaborated with Mitski on a song for an ':
,: upcoming John Cameron Mitchell film, composed music for art :,
: installations by Danh Vo, recorded an album with Merzbow and :
:' scored an experimental reworking of the Mozart opera, The Magic ':
,: Flute. All of this frantic, external activity lead to a softly :,
: damaged dreaminess and broadened intent that has not been heard :
:' before in other Xiu Xiu works. ':
,: :,
: The album was produced by John Congleton (Blondie, Sigur Ros), :
:' Greg Saunier of Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu's own Angela Seo. It ':
,: features guest appearances by fabled minimalist composer :,
: Charlemagne Palestine, LA Banjee Ball superstar commentator :
:' Enyce Smith, Swans guitar virtuoso Kristof Hahn and legendary ':
,: drag artist and personal hero of Xiu Xiu, Vaginal Davis. :,
: :
:' Standout track, ôWonderingö is one of the catchiest boogie pop ':
,: gems in the Xiu Xiu catalog, but like much of FORGET, it still :,
: bears an underlying tension that manifests differently in each :
:' piece. From the haunted guitar duet of "Petite", the ':
,: hilariously fraught lyrics of "Get Up," the advanced industrial :,
: boxing match of "Jenny GoGo," or the experimental goth explosion :
:' of "Faith, Torn Apart," all the songs in their own way build to ':
,: a roiling boil of a fate in vanishing. :,
: :
:' The calligraphy on the cover translates literally to "we ':
,: forget." It bows to the universality of everything and :,
: everyone's inevitable decline and foggy disappearance. Regarding :
:' the album title, Xiu Xiu singer Jamie Stewart said, ôTo forget ':
,: uncontrollably embraces the duality of human frailty. It is a :,
: rebirth in blanked out renewal but it also drowns and mutilates :
:' our attempt to hold on to what is dear.ö FORGET is both the ':
,: palliative fade out of a traumatic past but also the trampling :,
: pain of a beautiful one's decay. :
:' ':
