Xiu Xiu's 2023 album "Ignore Grief" is a harrowing exploration of loss and emotional endurance, recorded amidst personal tragedy. The album eschews the more electronic-forward sounds of recent work for a guitar-driven intensity.
- "Ignore Grief" was recorded in Los Angeles, with Stewart handling most of the instrumentation himself.
- The album was released on March 3, 2023, by longtime label Polyvinyl Records.
- Thematically, the album deals with the death of Stewart's father and the subsequent emotional fallout.
Xiu Xiu is the long-running experimental project of LA-based artist Jamie Stewart, known for its abrasive, often confrontational blend of noise, electronic, and avant-garde pop. At the time of "Ignore Grief," Xiu Xiu had recently released the critically acclaimed "OH NO" and was continuing its streak of prolific output.
