does anyone like them? I got into Xiu Xiu recently because they were compared to them. I guess the vocal style and weirdness make the bands similar but the PC seem more routed in post-hardcore drive like jehu style and avant than xiu xiu who take in new wave/post punk as well as avant stuff.
I got hold of fabulous muscles earlier in the week and havent listened to anything else since and am certainly going to be getting more xiu xiu stuff. What album is the next logical step?

Yeh, that album is probably there creepiest and most experimental and i really like it but some of the song writing isnt up to scratch compared to there last two albums. Hide the kitchen knives is probably my fav. On another subject, when the hell are xiu xiu gonna play in the UK?  |

i think every paper chase album has gotten progressively better. god bless your black heart is a triumph. it took a few listens but i came around. i also think it the creepiest by a long shot.

where have i been? is black heart the newest album & when did it come out? i must have it! for i love the paper chase & would have seen them a few weeks ago but chose to go see devendra banhart that night instead.it was a great show as well. & not that i like devendra better than paper chase, but paper chase has played here before & devendra had not before then.so i went. anyway bye, nate from the healthy home i think every paper chase album has gotten progressively better. god bless your black heart is a triumph. it took a few listens but i came around. i also think it the creepiest by a long shot. |
