People could really learn a lot from the guy that created this album. Which by the bay his name is Jamie Stewart. The way he takes on a role reversal on Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl still gives me chills. It's one of my favorite albums from Xiu Xiu. I also recomend you catch him live one day. You would definitely appreciate this man performs.

Honestly Emotional

I don't usually do reviews, but this records deserves more than 2 stars (which it has at the time I write this review).

But it's brilliant for those same reasons and more.

A Promise

if you like creepy and eerie music this is for you. dark or even morbid feelings come through the picture of the album. this is a great soundtrack for people who wish it was halloween everyday. haha. or if you hate yourself. jk. i enjoy it. maybe you will too.
