Ephraim:
The light of love is waning.

It flickers in the courtyard, throwing hollow reflections across the cathedral floor.
Gutted like an animal, open to your words, the agony of love grips my throat.
The soul is a shadow created in the house of sin, and the guest is knocking, knocking, knocking.

The End Is In Sight

GRAVE103 ::  Xiu Xiu 'Nina' out Dec 3rd, 2013

The first Xiu Xiu full length on Graveface is an 11 song Nina Simone covers album featuring some incredible musicians: Ches Smith, Tim Berne, Tony Malaby, Mary Halvorson, Andrea Parkins and Jamie Stewart of course. From Jamie: “The idea came being back stage in Austin TX, opening for Swans and feeling like I did not play well. Michael Gira and I had the night before talked about our mutual love for Nina Simone and how her intensity and crazy political truthfulness always pushed us to try harder. After watching the Swans that night and knowing the difficult ups and downs of their history and now their epic and beautiful persistence, they made me want to try harder as well. Nina Simone’s singing is way over my head and while I was back stage feeling like i blew it that night, hearing the swans be amazing and thinking of Nina made me want to not give up. The idea came from wanting to honor her, challenge myself to be better than I think I can be and to say thank you to music. Ches Smith is the only person i know who could understand this in his heart and also handle the technical side of fearlessly reorienting such wonderful music.”

Xiu Xiu - Don't smoke in bed

I have to chew gum when I ride my bike to keep my mouth from drying out
it sounds funny cause I hate rides and I hate this mental bully as it ruins my life
look into my eyes why don't you cry 
you hate my poxy music and everydrug I try 
I'm so messed up and you are so right 
It's allowed to feel down and crooked every night

exactly what I feel

Timelessness

Last Mile

Crawling to the waves
Crawling on my knees
I drown

I crumble as you creep
Underneath my skin
And dine

You leave me bound and blind
In the tower
In the dark
I’m unravelling
I have come apart

Crawling to the waves
Calling to be saved
From our dark embrace

Underneath your gaze
Crawling I obey
Your sound

Turning into flames
Crashing like the waves
Down

You leave me bound and blind
Safe inside
Your sight
Caught in my confines
You feast upon my life

Crawling to the waves 
Crawling to be saved 
From our dark embrace

Burning in a haze
Aching for the taste
I drown

Crawling to the waves
Calling to be saved
From our dark embrace
