the same.

a fucking awesome song followed by even a more terrific one.

In all the threads I've seen about Xiu Xiu, no-one has ever mentioned Ciautastico!, their collaboration with Larsen. As a Larsen fan I'm not too keen on it, I find it too "poppy". What do Xiu Xiu fans think of it?

I just got the Air Force, and I can't stop listening to it, it's so good. I think Fabulous Muscles is still my favorite by them though. I'm going to see them on the 16th!

I like fabulous muscles but I haven't heard that much of Xiu Xiu though I LOVE the band.

...

It isn't one of my favorites by them but I don't mind it. I put it on only rarely.

i've been meaning to check xxl out, that release made me explore important records and in turn, introduced me to ocean.

so is regular larsen any good?

I love their stuff to bits.

One Italian music journalist described them as "an italian-cult-collective-urban-folk-ritual-experimental soundscape-wall of love band”. I'd call them Godspeed without the pretentiousness, or drone rock with classical instrumentation.

Some stuff to try (MP3s):

Rever (from Seies)
Marzia (from Seies)
One (from Play)
Two (from Play)

thanks man!!!

italy is coming out with awesome bands lately.
