Xiu Xiu, the long-running art-noise confessional vehicle of Oakland's Jamie Stewart, will release their ninth album on February 23, via Kill Rock Stars. Having already named albums Knife Play, Fag Patrol, and Women as Lovers, Stewart keeps things consistent with the happily, self-parodically shocking title of his latest: Dear God, I Hate Myself.
Stewart has spent most of 2009 doing things other than Xiu Xiu; from working on the pretty-great Former Ghosts record (alongside the amazing Nika Roza Danilova of Zola Jesus), to touring solo, to guesting on the forthcoming Los Campesinos! LP.
Now, with the release of the first Xiu Xiu album since his cousin Caralee McElroy quit the band, we may all discover, once and for all, just how much Jamie Stewart hates himself.
