Xiu Xiu have a penchant for making songs so sad they are funny but still sad, and quite honestly I think that's about the best combination of emotions possible in art. Sure enough, their sound has changed from minimalist idm/gamelan creepscapes to merely weird synthpop, their attitude remains in tact.
I say "they," but i guess it's just Jamie Stewart now. Given the content of the new album, "Dear God, I Hate Myself," i wouldn't be surprised if Jamie will become the new Trent Reznor. This I wouldn't mind much at first, because Xiu better shirts.
I'll end with a link to a song off the album. It involves Butters. Yeah, the character on South Park.
