This double-disc set adds depth and dimension to the unique and powerful music made by Xiu Xiu, an outfit whose intimate, thorny, often harrowing songs fall somewhere between post-punk and experimental avant rock. REMIXED AND COVERED explains the package: the first disc has bands such as Sunset Rubdown, Devendra Banhart, Larsen, and Oxbow covering Xiu Xiu material, the second features remixes by Gold Chains, Warbucks, Cherry Point, and others. The combined effect is a testament to the strength, beauty, strangeness, and malleability of Xiu Xiu's musical universe.
