Xiu Xiu - Dear God, I Hate Myself

Review by Noel Gardner

You get the impression that Jamie Stewart would bristle at the idea that his music might generate blithe consensus approval.»

welve designs. two constants throughout xiu xiu's catalogue 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. jamie stewart's vocals are finally effortless paired with vibrant melodies full of subtlety and
distinct sonic accents. production is handled by jamie stewart and deerhoof's greg saunier, and the result is a record that proves that art can be pop and pop can challenge you to look inside yourself. xiu xiu make an utterly original mixture of home-studio goth-pop, confessional singer-songwriter outpourings and chamber music. on kill rock stars.
