While writing FORGET, they released the lauded Plays the : :' Music of Twin Peaks, collaborated with Mitski on a song for an ': ,: upcoming John Cameron Mitchell film, composed music for art :, : installations by Danh Vo, recorded an album with Merzbow and : :' scored an experimental reworking of the Mozart opera, The Magic ': ,: Flute. All of this frantic, external activity lead to a softly :, : damaged dreaminess and broadened intent that has not been heard : :' before in other Xiu Xiu works. ': ,: :, : The album was produced by John Congleton (Blondie, Sigur Ros), : :' Greg Saunier of Deerhoof and Xiu Xiu's own Angela Seo. It ': ,: features guest appearances by fabled minimalist composer :, : Charlemagne Palestine, LA Banjee Ball superstar commentator : :' Enyce Smith, Swans guitar virtuoso Kristof Hahn and legendary ': ,: drag artist and personal hero of Xiu Xiu, Vaginal Davis. :, : : :' Standout track, ôWonderingö is one of the catchiest boogie pop ': ,: gems in the Xiu Xiu catalog, but like much of FORGET, it still :, : bears an underlying tension that manifests differently in each : :' piece. From the haunted guitar duet of "Petite", the ': ,: hilariously fraught lyrics of "Get Up," the advanced industrial :, : boxing match of "Jenny GoGo," or the experimental goth explosion : :' of "Faith, Torn Apart," all the songs in their own way build to ': ,: a roiling boil of a fate in vanishing. :, : : :' The calligraphy on the cover translates literally to "we ': ,: forget." It bows to the universality of everything and :, : everyone's inevitable decline and foggy disappearance. Regarding : :' the album title, Xiu Xiu singer Jamie Stewart said, ôTo forget ': ,: uncontrollably embraces the duality of human frailty. It is a :, : rebirth in blanked out renewal but it also drowns and mutilates : :' our attempt to hold on to what is dear.ö FORGET is both the ': ,: palliative fade out of a traumatic past but also the trampling :, : pain of a beautiful one's decay. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 1 8 \/
