XXL is Xiu Xiu and Italian Michael Gira/Nurse With Wound collaborators Larsen. Together they’ve made an album of a predictably unpredictable nature. Disco Chrome, downloadable below, is a passage of odd-rock, with kraut and industrial influence, bursts of discordancy and driving rhythm; the rest of the album, entitled “Düde”, sees everything from surreal, hypnotic minimalism to grinding, circular riffs. It’s July release is preempted by a headline show at Cafe Oto this Friday.
