Xiu Xiu - La Foret

[The Heart Collector]

No discussions on this album? I thought it was majestic.

Listened to the album, and I liked it a lot. I'm wavering around with Xiu Xiu right now between love and hate since I tend to loathe some of his songs and then love them the next time I hear them.

I noticed how the song Saturn, which is about Stewart raping and then eating George W Bush, is inspired by the painting of the God Saturn eating one of his children (painted by an artist named Goya I think). The painting just really goes along with the song in a weird way when you listen to Saturn while seeing the painting. In fact, it goes along with the album pretty well most of the time.

Dammit Someguy your avatar gives me the Heebie Jeebies. I'm trying to forget that video...

To stay on topic.. I'll have to give this new album a listen :)
