XIU XIU "HI"!


check out the delirious darkwave-infused, transgressively playful et mordant, angst-laden, athemic lead single Hi, from Brooklyn-based experimental/post punk duo Xiu Xiu {Jamie Stewart & Angela Seo} off their much anticipated new album "Always" (2012).

Stewart's lyrics/delivery are incredible as ever, the first verse is particularly quotable, enjoy!

"If you're wasting your life / say hi
If you are alone tonight / say hi
If you or she should die / say hi
If there's a hole in your head / say hi
If you have a stitch in your wrist / say hi
If when you look at the sky, it is black and shredded"




"Always" is set for release February 27th in Europe/UK on Bella Union Records et March 6th in the US on Polyvinyl Records, it will be available on cd, mp3 et lp! pre-orders are available now, there is an edition of 500 translucent pink vinyl, so get in quick if that takes your fancy! you will also be able to download it digitally from itunes.

if you missed it, you should check out my post for Xiu Xiu's insane cover of Rihanna's Only Girl (In The World).
