Pre-Order Xiu Xiu Angel Guts: Red Classroom CD/LP/TAPE/MP3
Xiu Xiu - Angel Guts Red Classroom  
Inspired by primary songwriter Jamie Stewart's recent move into a notoriously dangerous LA neighborhood, Angel Guts: Red Classroom captures Xiu Xiu at its finest (and darkest) hour.

Working with only analog synths, a drum set, and 1970's analog drum machines, Xiu Xiu has never before sounded so focused, so captivating, so intent on delivering a kick to the throat.

Unbearably dark, yet incredibly illuminating, the John Congleton-produced
AG:RC
finds Xiu Xiu continuing to forge its reputation as avant-garde pioneers.

Xiu Xiu - Stupid in the Dark  
Listen to lead single "Stupid in the Dark," which debuted on Pitchfork and has been receiving acclaim from a variety of places such as The Needle Drop ("a rush of harmony...bring[s] words like 'passion' new meaning") and CMJ ("unsettling, cloudy and ominous, leaving you to ponder all sorts of evil").

Angel Guts: Red Classroom is now available for pre-order in the following options:
  • CD (includes 4" x 4" logo sticker)  
  • Early Bird Edition 180-Gram Clear Red Vinyl (limited to 500)
  • Tape (Red Tint)
  • T-Shirt+MP3 (new logo design)
  • Bundles with new t-shirt design and past Xiu Xiu albums 

Pre-orders ship Jan. 24. In stores Feb. 4.

Tim Kinsella sings the songs of Marvin Tate by LeRoy Bach featuring Angel Olsen Ltd. Edition LP
Tim Kinsella sings the songs of...   
Our friends at Joyful Noise have just released a brand new record from Tim Kinsella, but calling it a solo record by the Joan of Arc frontman doesn't do it justice.

The album is actually the third in a series of collaborations between the prolific poet Marvin Tate and multi-instrumentalist (& former Wilco member) LeRoy Bach.

As the new songs came together, Bach recognized the material had rich possibilities for interpretation, and suggested they hand the mic over to Kinsella (the eccentric voice behind Joan of Arc, Cap'n Jazz, Owls, & Make Believe).

Eventually the consensus was made that some of the stories could be enhanced by an additional singer- a second persona. The trio enlisted their friend Angel Olsen (Jagjaguwar Records), who immediately took to Tate's melodies and characters.

This record is limited to 1000 copies on Swamp Green vinyl with yellow, red, magenta, & orange splatter and we only have 30 copies available, so act quick!
