Xiu Xiu - Girl With Basket Of Fruit
Review by Enrique M. Ferrer
Xiu Xiu's latest album, "Girl With Basket Of Fruit," is a daring and experimental release that showcases the band's penchant for pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic territories. The album is a challenging and often unsettling listen, with its abrasive noise-rock soundscapes and dark, visceral lyrics.
The album's opener, "Girl With Basket Of Fruit," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its distorted guitars, pounding drums, and Jamie Stewart's anguished vocals. The track is a chaotic and disorienting experience, with layers of noise and twisted melodies creating a sense of unease.
Other standout tracks on the album include "It Comes Out As A Joke," which features a hypnotic, repetitive riff that builds to a frenzied climax, and "Mary Turner, Mary Turner," a haunting ballad that tells the story of a lynching victim.
