Cheap Thrills

Xiu Xiu is a US American post-punk band formed in San Jose, California in 2001. The band's primary songwriter and only constant member is [a422427]. With their unique sound and thought-provoking lyrics, Xiu Xiu has gained a dedicated following in the music industry.
Known for their experimental approach to music, Xiu Xiu combines elements of punk, noise rock, and electronic music to create a sound that is both captivating and challenging. Their songs often explore themes of love, loss, and personal struggles.
Over the years, Xiu Xiu has released numerous critically acclaimed albums and collaborated with various artists from different genres. Their live performances are known for their intense energy and emotional depth, leaving audiences mesmerized.

The two biggest constants throughout Xiu Xiu's catalog are honesty and evolution. This remains true with Dear God, I Hate Myself as it delivers a look at responsibility, fear, healing, and societal roles wrapped in rich gothic pop music. The sound is still distinctly Xiu Xiu, but Jamie Stewart's vocals are finally effortless paired with vibrant melodies full of subtlety and the distinct sonic accents expected of this anticipated Xiu Xiu release. The result is a record that proves that art can be pop and pop can challenge you to look inside yourself.

Each new Xiu Xiu release has evolved alongside the lives of Jamie Stewart and company. On this record you'll find more intensity and introspection than ever before, but sonically and lyrically it continues to move forward with a subtly new perspective — hyper-focused yet aware of a larger, external picture unfolding. The pace of the record grips you, the music offers layers of detail, and the themes focus on not just the past or stark present but hint towards vespers of the future as well. Dear God, I Hate Myself will challenge you and force you to look inside yourself, but only after you get lost in the music. It's passionate, it's energetic, and it affects you.

Dear God, I Hate Myself is a beautiful piece of humanist art. It's an important addition to the growing body of intelligent music from Xiu Xiu. And it's a brilliant gothic pop record that can stand next to anything.

This KRS 30 Year Anniversary reissue is remastered from the original audio source and includes a bonus 7" w/ 2 previously unreleased tracks. It is available in two unique color vinyl variants and includes new liner notes and a digital download w/ drunk commentary for the full album.
