Interview to Jamie Stewart
©2004 Stefano Dissolvents and ©2004 Edoardo Bridda
The interview that follows is one small collection of as many photograms, flares that "do not throw light on", but turns around to a personage with little or nobody wants of schiudersi, sormontando own music. That then it is truer how much, sincere and reliable can never tell to us.
James you can tell us of as born is the group and something of the history of its members Cory McCullough, Yvonne Chen and Lauren Andrews?[/b]
They give approximately a Lauren year and Yvonne they do not make part from the band. For the recordings of Fabulous Muscles the Xiu Xiu I and Cory have been. As far as the history, all we have peculiar history and distances of encounter and separation. The persons who you have cited do not exaust the total of the members that have made part of the band: Miya Osaki was originally nel group before dell' arrival of Lauren and has played in many noise band, moreover also John Dieterich goddesses Deerhoof, Devin Hoff goddesses Nels Cline Singers, Carla Bozlich, Ches Smith (that it has played with Tom Waits, Trevor Horn and John Zorn) of it has made part. Devin, between the other, has band a a lot interesting call Good For Cows and ah, forgot, Caralee! For she it is its first experience in one band.
If you write on Internet Xiu Xiu appears the situated one: www.haro-online.com/movies/xiu_xiu.html...
Yes, the group has taken to its name from that film (title it complete Xiu Xiu The Sent Down Girl, turned from Joan chen in the ' 98, is one history of ordinary disumanità in China of the cultural revolution, ndi)
In that Nations you have found the greater consent? Why according to you?
In Italy and the United States. I do not know because and however it is a lot "in" having some type of reply in your country. The food is better and the prettier people.
To that level tasks that the your music is tied to that that it happens around you and in the world?
All the songs speak about real things that are happened to the members of the band or to people much neighbor we. Task that this factor is one constant for Xiu Xiu: the songs represent real things near we.
How much planning has been and there is behind yours sound, therefore elaborated and immediate, sophisticated and violent?
Beh nearly nothing and, al same time, hours and hours and hours. This will be able to seem a contradiction, but we try of being most possible spontaneous when we also record passing an eternity in the writing of the brani and the missaggio. Cory always says that God is in the details and also that before take it is always the best one. We oscillate between these two principles. Some times work, others not.
The paste is outlined allucinato, pervaso from rising of timor panic, nearly it feared own the same ability to imagine and to imagine themselves. We can speak about anti-psichedelia?
I do not know that what is...
Continuing to speak about your aesthetic message: many things carry to one rappresentazione of the carnalità, of the body knot...
Many songs speak about sexual problems, confusion, crimes and soil. Like saying before, they speak about true things and unfortunately they are the pies of the life.
You knew already Mark Hollis (its work) when they have pointed out you for before turns the extraordinary likeness of your voices?
He is embarrassing, but... Not, I had not never felt it. When they have put to me this pulce in the ear has gone to listen to me the album and hour they are a its large one fan. Sure, its voice is much best of mine...
You have collaborated with Owen Ashworth in the album Twinkle Echo: which part you have carried out in the working of the album? Six satisfied of the result? How you relationships with the in love musical sensibility of Owen?
I have missato the album and I have played the guitar in one song. We are good tournée friends and we have made one together that it has touched also Japan. For some reason I have not never spoken with he about songwriting... You thinks, when we are together, speaks about Otis Redding and diaphragms (!). Task that Owen is an excellent musician and writer of witnesses, its imagination is fascinating and arrives knot, to the substance of the things.
You have declared to love the Mountain Goats. Immediate its folk and to times minibadly has something to that to make with Xiu Xiu?
I do not have idea if we have truly something of directed in common. Simply I love its voice and its lyric inusuali. I adore the fact of as it it is in a position to composing a great number therefore of atypical songs that however play therefore beautiful and winning.
You could speak us about the cover of the album, theirs artwork and means to you?
Task that you can makes you one conviction of a whichever group leaving from the places setting some. However that one that to more it represents us is in according to album - "To it promised" - that ritrae prostituto with one a doll to head in down. I have taken personally that photo, was a way in order to pay this boy whom it insisted to the sfinimento for having sexual relationship that I did not want. The photo, between thousand questions and doubts that are placed to me in those moments before deciding, has been one excuse for dargli a compensation and at the same time my will to represent vulnerability and dusk, unpleasant sexuality and thin violence with one feeling of thin hope that ago badly. We wanted that music contained that same message.
You said to have worked with Deerhoof, what you can tell us of that experience?
They have carried to me in a reef, legacy a frozen turkey to the life and thrown in sea, then they are arrives you of the sharks that have bitten me the legs...
To part the jokes, Greg has played the battery in the song "Hives Hives" (on the album Kinfe Play ndr.). With he I have composed a sonorous column and we are to quota 1000 show together. With John we are recording a album and, finally, with Rob and Kelly (that they were part of the Deerhoof and hour they are in the 7 year rabbit cycle ndr.) I have played the guitar in one of their tournée. It has been a spasso and they are the best ones.
Crank Heart (the first trace of Fabulous) to the beginning seems a video game years ' 80. Which importance has for you the analogic sounds? They are preferibili to digitalises them?
It is pretty that me you ask. I love the analogic sounds. To the beginning they have been the only ones that we could ourselves be allowed however, hour that all our apparatuses are digita them, we try of the emulatori that they allow us to use a PC like if it were old synth.
You were a videogiocatore in years ' 80?
Always they have been negatissimo with the coin-up and this thing made me to vergognare not little when I was adolescent. Perhaps for what still they are fascinated some. I love to watch the people that videogioca, to listen to them and to see them while pavoneggiano. Caralee Mcelroy (member of the Xiu Xiu ndr.) instead it is a dredge and I can watch it to play for hours. Here explained because those sounds come outside! You of padroneggiare some are tried you leave of the video game that I have in my mind.
