Video: Xiu Xiu – “Born To Suffer”

“Born To Suffer” Is the latest tune to get the video treatment from Xiu Xiu’s 2012 LP Always. More lo-budget artsy weirdness from the group, there seems to be a religious undertone to the video but that’s just my unofficial interpretation of it at the moment.

 “Beauty Towne” Is the latest video from Xiu Xiu’s soon to be released LP Always. The strange and unique animated video was created by Jonathan Berger, Jean Y. Kim and Dasha Shishkin. The band also has a new digital rarities comp called RARE, available next month from Xiu Xiu’s web site.

Xiu Xiu Covers Rihanna's “Only Girl (In the World)”

San Jose Duo Xiu Xiu covered Rihanna's "Only Girl" (In The World) and like most well done covers the band has drastically reinvented the track. “Only Girl” remains recognizable that, however, is about as far as the similarity to the original hit goes. It’s a dirty, string-drenched jam that features Jamie Stewart’s trademark sincere singing. You can find the track on the bands new 7" "Fuck The Police" and below...
