13 FRANK BELTRAME ITALIAN STILETTO WITH BISON HORN GRIPS

Description

Over the past two decades, the prolific and influential production of acclaimed albums and collaborations by Xiu Xiu has always been dazzling. They have released 17 full-length albums that have been praised in media such as The New Yorker, The Wire, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, NME, and many others. They have tirelessly traveled the world, performing in places as far off the beaten path as Kazakhstan and Lebanon and in vital institutional venues like the Guggenheim and the Centre Pompidou.
On Xiu Xiu's latest album, 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, Angela Seo and Jamie Stewart deliver some of the most compelling and fascinating music from the band to date. Mixed by John Congleton (Chelsea Wolfe, Swans, Lana Del Rey), this album is unlike anything the band has ever recorded before and was driven by the destruction of previous aesthetic notions, as well as the band's recent move from Los Angeles to Berlin.
