Free Music Notes for La Forêt Album
Free Music Review: La Foret is pretty awesome
Hit: 4 Stars
Jamie, if you read reviews, I just want to say I love Xiu Xiu. It is a testament to your devotion to music that you put out an LP once a year. That is the way all the great old bands did it and I think that totally rocks. Your live shows are pretty awesome too, but I would add a live percussionist (3rd person) because the constant sequencing gets a little old. La Foret is pretty awesome and I love the way it is recorded. Overall it has a crispness that was missing on your previous efforts. However, with all the praise I could and should heap on Xiu Xiu, I am completely done with the whisper/ mumble type songs. Maybe it was "experimental" & "emotional" on the first three albums (& Fag Patrol, & Fleshlettes), but at this point it is starting to sound a little cliché and irritating. I find myself forwarding past these songs to get to the meat of your albums. Think of it this way, you wouldn't want to sit through a concert of whisper/ mumble songs would you? So why is it so prominent on La Foret? Suha is a way more powerful "slow" song than all of your whispering/ mumbling, slow, "emotional" songs put together. Just consider what I am saying on your next album.
***By the way you should tour Miami. There are way better looking boys in Miami (I am not even gay, that is just a fact). Why go to Tallahassee? Who the hell is in Tallahassee other than Jeb Bush?
