| |
| For nearly two decades, Xiu Xiu has made music for the moments |
| when lifeÆs harsh realities meet its existential mysteries. A |
| profound sense of emotional vulnerability weaves its way |
| throughout the dozen albums the group has made, but also a spirit |
| of openness and experimentalism as they peer into the sonic |
| unknown, creating moments of catharsis by harnessing bursts of |
| noise and other uncommon sounds. They have collaborated with |
| confessional songwriters like Mitski and avant-garde composers |
| like Charlemagne Palestine, displaying an uncommon fluency in both |
| worlds. Singer and songwriter Jamie StewartÆs lyrics are often |
| veiled in layers of metaphor, but his delivery always suggests |
| urgency and intimacy, that thereÆs a universal truth that cuts |
| deep. Xiu Xiu makes beautiful music for hard times. |
| |
| OH NO, the groupÆs newest album, is an album of duets, with |
| Stewart sharing the spotlight with an array of guests who have |
| made an impact on him personally and musically. Sharon Van EttenÆs |
| tentative musings open the album, and from there vocalists from |
| across the musical spectrum, including Circuit des YeuxÆs Haley |
| Fohr, Liz Harris, Alice Bag, Chelsea Wolfe, Owen Pallet, and Twin |
| ShadowÆs George Lewis Jr., all drift into Xiu XiuÆs distinctive |
| soundworld. OH NO was written and recorded in Xiu XiuÆs home |
| studio in Los Angeles throughout 2019 and 2020, and produced by |
| Xiu XiuÆs Angela Seo, experimental musician Lawrence English, and |
| DeerhoofÆs Greg Saunier, who also sings on the incisive, |
| noise-laden song ôGoodbye For Good.ö The album was born out of |
| anguish and isolation, but exists as it does because of a profound |
| rediscovery of community and friendship. It is the sound of |
| finding oneÆs place in the world after the destructive powers of |
| jealousy and mistrust make any map seemingly unreadable. |
| |
| As Stewart began writing the songs that would end up on OH NO, a |
| series of long-standing friendships and musical partnerships were |
| abruptly and unilaterally severed after surprising acts of |
| betrayal and disrespect. Stewart was thrown into a deep pit of |
| dull isolation, unsure of how he got there. He cancelled tours, |
| and spoke publicly about mental health issues that prompted his |
| closing off to the world. But as he did, people he had not talked |
| to in many years reached out offering support. Xiu Xiu fans wrote |
| expressing how his music had helped them through their own |
| personal tragedies, offering reciprocal care as he faced his own |
| intense darknesses. In a way that was new and unfamiliar, there |
| was a critical mass of people showing him how much he meant, and |
| had always meant. Their words and actions provided the rope he |
| needed to leave that pit behind and emerge with a newfound |
| appreciation of those around him, and humanity at large. |
| |
| And so Stewart, along with Seo, decided to have this collection of |
| songs, many of which speak directly to the experience of |
| dissolution and abandonment, as well as the shared reality of |
| environmental devastation, represent the combined expressions of |
| love and humanity that so effectively vanquished that darkness. |
| There is no shortage of severity and shadow, this is a Xiu Xiu |
| album after all, but here it is a burden shared. On ôThe |
| Grifters,ö Haley FohrÆs full-bodied wail bolsters StewartÆs |
| wavering falsetto over stark acoustic guitar. Alice BagÆs defiant |
| chiming of ôKnock Outö provides a perfect foil to his tentative |
| singing of ôhey hey.ö Chelsea Wolfe helps Stewart turn The CureÆs |
| ôOne Hundred Years,ö a favorite of his since high school, into |
| pulsating industrial music that radiates intensity. And Liz Harris |
| provides gorgeous beds of harmonizing vocals to ôA Bottle of Rum,ö |
| one of the hookiest songs Stewart has ever written. |
| |
| ôThe guest stars of OH NO reflect the types of people, and many of |
| the very same, who helped remind me that the ratio of beautiful |
| humans to shitty humans is more like 60/40 rather than what I have |
| always assumed was 1/99,ö says Stewart. ôAlthough there is an æI |
| HATE PEOPLEÆ pin on my guitar strap, I hate them less now.ö His |
| revelation, and the music that has come out of it, is a reminder |
| of the power of Xiu XiuÆs music to surprise and connect. Listening |
| to the songs on OH NO, it is hard to feel truly alone. Instead, it |
| is a reminder that even when weÆre alone, weÆre alone together. |
