Album number nine for the prolific Jamie Stewart is billed as his creepiest yet--and you can see why. Riddled with gnarling hacksaw percussion, this is Xiu Xiu returning to its angst-spewing, ear-bleeding, bone-rattling, yet always melodic roots. As intense and as self-questioning as ever, Angel Guts: Red Classroom is the sound of an artist getting back to his best. (www.xiuxiu.org)

Beautiful deconstructions of a beautiful deconstructionist. One chameleon almost out shapeshifts another. All that remains consistent is the tone and timbre of Simone's voice, reflected in the defiant, fight-or-flight despair of Jamie Stewart.Nina Simone is an audacious undertaking, usually one only left to (weirdly) tone-deaf Starbucks jazz artists -- hell, a coked-up David Bowie even bailed after one foray into Simone's work -- but the shadowy Xiu Xiu undertake a full album of the jazz...

It takes a certain bravery to enter the world constructed by Xiu Xiu on their ninth studio album. Angel Guts: Red Classroom is from the outset an uncompromising record that opens with a short drone passage and from that point on presents the listener with a record that descends into increasingly grubby and murky subject matter. It is shocking, it's exciting and it doesn't attempt to give any easy answers or clues as to its real intentions...

Bella Union enthusiastically laud the impulse driving Jamie Stewart's ninth Xiu Xiu studio album Angel Guts: Red Classroom. It's an impulse they reckon is shared between Stewart, Blixa Bargeld, Suicide and Scott Walker. It's nothing new; pop records as recent as Kanye West's Yeezus have had Suicide comparisons bestowed upon them by people hoping to capture an enlightened audience by appealing to a certain aesthetic...

Xiu Xiu take a path many other bands have taken with Angel Guts, Red Classroom. By using only the most primitive instruments, the classic "strip the sound down to reveal the core" motif is on full display here. It would be a better choice for just about any other band. With Xiu Xiu, their music is stripped down to the core by definition. On this album this method just makes things sound at best, incomprehensible and bizarre for the sake of being bizarre, and at worst, just plain bad...

After moving blindly to a poor area of Los Angeles, Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart learned that low-income neighborhoods where rents run cheap often espouse violence. Though crime data is available more publicly than ever and a single Google search could have warned Stewart of the potential dangers that accompany certain parts of the city, the art pop songwriter ended up returning to California from North Carolina without an inkling of what he was in for...

Jamie Stewart is standing in your hallway with a knife in his neck, cutting his own head off. I know what you were thinking when you opened that front door: "Oh, that nice Xiu Xiu man's here with his new record!" So you let him in, didn't you? Popped the kettle on and hoped for a chat. And now the detached head of Jamie Stewart is lolling about on your new carpet, and you have no idea how to respond...

Almost 10 years ago to the day, Jamie Stewart released his most purposefully disturbing record as Xiu Xiu: not Knife Play, not Fag Patrol, and not Dear God, I Hate Myself. That would be Fabulous Muscles, which placed Stewart's NC-17 lyrical deviance within the context of streamlined, not-quite pop songs and, as a result, gave us something more unsettling than his cover art--a Xiu Xiu record presumably meant for mass consumption...

Hot on the heels of , their bizarre and fascinating Nina Simone covers album, Xiu Xiu bring us another platter of horrific, twisted avant-pop with . Caught midway between contemporary Scott Walker and Suicide in both content and sound, is a concept album about the violent area of L.A. that Xiu Xiu singer Jamie Stewart found himself in upon returning to the city...
