    The Xius have outdone themselves. They have expanded the abrasive sound developing from Girl With Basket of Fruit and have taken it in a more atmospheric direction instead of being direct. Great stuff, do give it a listen at a good headspace though.

    Pitiless, but ultimately forming a sanctuary for Xiu Xiu’s irredeemable sadness, Ignore Grief might just be their most startling record to date. [Apr 2023, p.63]

    This is a noisy articulation of pain to be felt once but barely experienced after. It exists to shock with the intention of empathy; unfortunately, empathy takes time and is hardly elicited when all things warped and wicked are at the forefront.

    This record – like most dark art – is not merely meant as an extreme experience, but a critique of structure that commodifies human bodies.
