Xiu Xiu

Musical Group

Xiu Xiu is an American experimental band formed by Jamie Stewart in San Jose, California in 2002, known for abrasive electronics, confessional lyrics and shifting lineups.

The band is led by Jamie Stewart. Reviews note early members including Caralee McElroy and later collaborator Angela Seo. The Air Force was produced/featured Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) according to a review. The band's name is taken from the film Xiu Xiu: The Sent-Down Girl (mentioned in a review).

DeBaser reviews present Xiu Xiu as an American experimental band led by Jamie Stewart. Reviewers highlight emotionally raw vocals, abrasive electronics and moments of pop concision. Key albums repeatedly praised include Knife Play, A Promise and Angel Guts: Red Classroom.

For:Listeners of experimental, post-punk and art-pop; fans of intense, confessional music.

 Certainly, Jamie Stewart has understood everything about love.

 It’s Jamie Stewart dressed in a fiery red tracksuit (or Valentino red as you might prefer), his presence immediately wakes me, and during the ten minutes he takes to set up his gear, everything becomes very clear.
