[verdict] Xiu Xiu :: Master of the Bump (video)

Xiu Xiu is a band very very weird / strange for me. Yesterday I read about their controversial new video for the song “Master of the Bump” and ok…. first let me talk about the song.
The first time I listen any song (an english one) I don’t pay attention to the lyrics, just the melody. Even though that song was “ok”.. the final note, a string guitar, gave me the chills. (minute 3:14 of the song
), a standout ovation for that ending.
Now the video, it came to my attention some Gus Van Sant and Dennis Cooper references, so I was having an idea about it and after watching the whole video… yes, it let me a little bit intrigued and disturbed.
Siendo sinceros la banda Xiu Xiu nunca me ha terminado de convencer, son MUY extraños para mi. Ayer lei que anda rodando un nuevo video “controversial” de ellos, y algunas personas hacían referencia que era “un cuento de Dennis Cooper dirigido por Gus Van Sant” (asi que ya se podía tener una idea por donde iba la cosa)
Antes de verlo busqué la canción en cuestión. Si bien no le prestaba atención a la letra sino a la melodía, no era nada del otro mundo hasta que al finalizar, en el minuto 3:14, hacen una nota de guitarra que corta bruscamente el estilo de la canción y te entra en toda la espina (muy distinto a piel de gallina jeje), aplaudí ese final.
Ahora, con respecto al video…. pues si, me dejó bien intrigado y perturbado.

English Version:
- Xiu Xiu: I’m going to listen this album on February, but for now “I do what I want, when I want” and “Under Pressure” are favorites.
- Sébastien Tellier: This one is out on March, but I’m stick with it. Sometimes I feel Barry White is going to sing in one of these songs. The hand of Daft Punk is on this work.
- Vampire Weekend: Stop the madness, stop the over-hype, over-blogging. The band is nice…. but that’s it. Don’t let them be an Arctic Monkeys.
- Now, the best thing ever released on January was The Magnetic Fields’ Distortion (at least in my opinion). This is my winter-season album, music to be listened alone, to get drunk, to be depressed but in some way happy. This album is beautiful in its own way. I’ll Dream Alone, Too Drunk to Dream and Old Fools are my new hymns. Please check this album now.
