“Is there a ‘Xiu Xiu scene’? You know, Xiu Xiu, Parenthetical Girls, The Dead Science… all distinct, yeh, but all still on some level cut from the same basic template- mewling feminised vocals, sense of high drama and trauma, atonal, often counter-intuitive arrangements… you know what I mean. But in the same way that Parenthetical Girls have a sumptuous, sickly, almost *poppy* allure that Xiu Xiu probably won’t ever have, so The Dead Science are the totally killer rock band that Xiu Xiu can never hope to be.”

“avant-rock and Stravinsky meet and start to beat each other up a bit as someone howls about the end of the world in the background”

The Dead Science. It’ll be fun. Promise.

Then, there’s Bobby Conn + Monica Bou bou. I will say very little, but direct you to watch this video. I have enjoyed it, and so will you kids.
