Xiu Xiu has been creating vulnerable and experimental music for almost two decades, collaborating with both confessional songwriters and avant-garde composers. Singer Jamie Stewart's urgent and intimate delivery taps into a universal truth that cuts deep. OH NO, their latest album, is a collection of duets with an array of guests from across the musical spectrum, written and recorded in Xiu Xiu's home studio in Los Angeles during 2019 and 2020. The album was born out of a rediscovery of community and friendship after a series of long-standing friendships and musical partnerships were abruptly severed, causing Stewart to cancel tours and speak publicly about his mental health issues. However, Xiu Xiu fans and old friends reached out to offer support, reminding him of the beauty in humanity.
The songs on OH NO speak directly to the experience of dissolution and abandonment, as well as the shared reality of environmental devastation. Despite the severity and shadow, the album is a burden shared. The guest stars reflect the types of people who helped remind Stewart of the beauty in humanity. The album is a reminder of the power of Xiu Xiu's music to surprise and connect, conveying a message that even when we're alone, we're alone together.
