Xiu Xiu – Always (2012)

...Zajebano Sjebano I Lepo...

Wonderfully and schizophrenically aggressive post-punk band Xiu Xiu will be releasing Always on March 6th, and the tracklist for said album is out. As per usual, some of the titles of the songs are controversial (e.g. “Factory Girls” or “I Luv Abortion”). Xiu Xiu, of course, wouldn’t engage in controversy without reasonable explanations; “Factory Girls” is really about the “sexual objectification and desperate existence of Chinese female migrant workers,” and “I Luv Abortion” is about the “resolute heartache of a friend too young to be pregnant.” A vinyl version will also be dropped, and it will include a poster of Xiu Xiu tattoos.


the album ALWAYS will be released on February 28th in Europe/UK by Bella Union Records & on March 6th in thee rest of the earth by PolyVinyl Records.
Always will be released on white 180 gram vinyl and there will be 500 limited edition copies of translucent pink 180 gram vinyl available via Polyvinyl mailorder
