Xiu Xiu- The Air Force

jeph:
You know how every once in a while you come across a record that makes you think "Goddamn, I am glad I got to hear this at least once before I died"?

The new Xiu Xiu album is like that (for me, anyway). It's chaotic, challenging, gorgeous, funny, and sad, just like the best Xiu Xiu songs always are. I think it might be my favorite record of theirs.

jcknbl:
I really want to like Xiu Xiu but I can't get past the voice. I respect them musically and all but I just can't listen to that guy's voice for an extended period of time.

Rubby:
I was the same way with Xiu Xiu until I heard "I Love the Valley, Oh". Yeah I know it's the big hit single and everything, but I heard every other song before this one. I didn't like the band, but then after I heard I Love the Valley I was like "wait, this band is good, there's gotta be something I'm missing in those other songs", and I was right!

Praeserpium Machinarum:
Has it been leaked? I mean according to Wiki it is supposed to be released September 15th.

Johnny C:
Jeph, your musical judgement is usually unimpeachable and so I'll take a listen when I can get ahold of it.
