Free Music Notes for La For?t
Free Music Review: It must be too deep for me, or maybe the emperor really is naked.
Hit: 2 Stars
As a fan of all genres electronica, esp. trip hop, Xiu Xiu was recommended to me. I finally bought the only album of theirs available at my local Record Theater, and eagerly slid it into the cd player in my car on the ride home. After about 20 minutes I couldn't help thinking "Did I just waste $16?" Hmmmm, maybe it's not for listening to in cars....gave it a second try at home the next day and listened to it the whole way through. I just couldn't get into it. Not as background music to do other things to, not as lying-down-on-my-bed-feeling-every-note, not as well, I can't really think of a setting where I would truly appreciate this music. I've finally decided that the singer is too emo-ish for my tastes, and the melodies are, well, boring. I don't really care about each song because the beats generate no emotional responce, neither do the lyrics. I won't say Xiu Xiu sucks because I can at least hear that they are doing something different, and they're going bravely, unabashedly forward with their experimentalism, but I think even people who are fans of it right now will listen to them again years from now and say "What did I ever hear that was good in this?"
La For?t Poster
To hear Xiu Xiu is to be shaken, disturbed, and shown something original. Jamie Stewart sings haunted and tortured, though always with a sense of humor somewhere below the poisoned blood. "La Foret" is his most harrowing and beautiful to date, waltzing between acoustic parts so intimate you can hear his shoe scooting on the studio floor as he inches closer to the mic, and pounding dark-wave thunderstorms where electronics go Mogwai loud and Jamie screams over the hissing, spitting deluge. It's the type of record that leaves you seasick. Give your heart to the darkness; the rewards are immense.Alternative Rock Music CDs
