Xiu Xiu Iceberg | Exploring Jamie Stewart's Brutal Tonality & Radical Sensitivity

** CONTENT WARNING / STROBE WARNING ** Viewer discretion advised for sensitive topics and flashing imagery. SUPPORT ME ON PATREON:   / agrrrlstwosoundcents   In today's video, we delve into the Xiu Xiu iceberg. And there's A LOT to unpack. Xiu Xiu is a highly influential indie band whose sound casts a wide stroke, producing bodies of work that encompass post-punk, Korean folk, and brutally harsh noise rock. They are a notoriously difficult band to get into, courtesy of the abrasive and terrifying soundscapes they produce (including experimental noises from 8-bit video game consoles), along with frontman Jamie Stewart's tragic and absurdist lyrics inspired by Joy Division and novelist Dennis Cooper.
