 Xiu Xiu - Chapel Of The Chimes EP - almost cool music review
When you add the downright agonized sound (at least, much of the time) of lead singer Jamie Stewart's vocals, it's definitely not something you'll be playing at the family picnic.
Leave it to a track named "Jennifer Lopez (The Sweet Science Version)" to rip the roof off things, but instead of with a booty beat, the track blasts distorted horns, a melancholy harmonium, and some offset drum machine pitter patter before the chorus absolutely shreiks and Stewart unleashes his gutteral yelp.
To close things out, the group treads on what many would consider sacred ground in covering a Joy Division track ("Ceremony"), but their scrap-heap-with-a-heart version is so brash and inventive that it's hard to find too much fault.
