And as if to prove my point, I've no idea what they're doing with the vocal melody on the one you linked; the guitar part is simple 5ths, 4ths and 7ths though. The vocal melody seems to weave around it, but I can't place the intervals off the top of my head; it's not that complex though.

It doesn't have anything to do with XIU XIU, which I don't care for either way, but I'd be interested to know what you think of how minimalistic no wave, punk or whatever seems to have reached a cul de sac in terms of melodic creativity. Personally I tend to think that the temple of DIY struggles more than ever these days.
