Xiu Xiu is an experimental band known for their avant-garde musical style and emotionally intense compositions. Formed in 2002 in San Jose, California, by Jamie Stewart, the band has been characterised by its incorporation of a wide array of influences, including post-punk, noise pop, ambient, and electronic music. Xiu Xiu's lyrics are often stark and personal, exploring themes of trauma, despair, and the human condition, often reflecting Stewart's own experiences.
The band's sound is notable for its eclectic instrumentation and innovative arrangements, making use of everything from synthesizers and drum machines to unconventional items like autoharps and toys.
Over the years, Xiu Xiu has gained a dedicated following for their daring sonic explorations and their commitment to pushing the boundaries of music and emotional expression.
