Nov 20, 2013 Xiu Xiu By Mike Hilleary

Already planning to release a Nina Simone tribute album album titled Nina on Dec. 2, Xiu Xiu have announced that they will release a new album of original material early next year. Titled Angel Guts: Red Classroom, the new full-length follows last year’s Always and arrives Feb. 4 via Polyvinyl. The title of the LP is taken from a 1979 Japanese erotic film. According to press release Angel Guts: Red Classroom is the beginning of Xiu Xiu’s descent from grayness into the deepest blackness endurable. It is the sound of Xiu Xiu’s death,” adding, “The subject matter—racialized sex, double suicide, double penetration, criminality, fear of physical harm—is unsuitable for the faint of heart. But when the heart has stopped beating, only the soul remains to carry on.”
