I think I can tell where this video was inspired from. They were playing near my town in Macedonia in Skopje, MKC, November 2014. The show was in a theatre, with red seats very similar to these ones in the video and guess what - there was an annoying heckler that kept spewing and yelling sarcastic bullshit like "WOW THIS MUSIC IS VERY GOOD" or "BRAVO WHAT A PERFORMANCE" etc.. Jamie and Shayna ignored it like champs. I'm so glad they incorporated that rather unfortunate event into a music video.
I love how they integrated Jamies Tweets.
Was hoping to see you guys in the ending of a twin peaks returns episode 😫
Definitely caught that "Stupid in the Dark" vibe to this video, before even discovering that both are directed by Amir. Great stuff.
this is what the eric andre show would be like if it had musical guests
That's funny you mention that, cos Devendra Banhart, who _did_ appear on Eric Andre as a musical guest, has collaborated with Schwee Schwee and has even done a pretty funny pop cover of Support Our Troops OH!
Eric Andre had a very similar guest in music style to Xiu Xiu, Devendra Banhart and the Funky Bunch
Dark, hilarious, simply just perfect. Much love!!
wow! Where was I when this fantastic music was being made? I discovered it just now. When I listen to it I am imagining myself driving a steamroller across the whole town, crushing people, houses and all. Also somebody should make a 1h long version of this song! Love you guys!
this is lynchian
Hack off for you, you felt for you
What name for thee other than thee?
Reduced to bone, reduced to dust
Cross out the dawn, could not enough
Un-beautiful, pale of the sun
Undignified, but it goes on
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Forget!
Oh, forget who you are
Don't admit who you are
Oh, forget who you are
Don't admit who you are
Oh, to take and to touch
And for once feel good
Oh, to take and to touch
And for once feel good
Was it wrong but said and done?
With great relief, rip out the dawn
To drink the drink hung from a chord
Un-beautiful, hung from a chord
(Planet rock) Forget!

You are to be named The Cigar
You are to be called Candy Barr

I love you Angela, I love you Jamie.
"Here is your fucking doll"
and they were roommates
Beautiful. Love it. What do you guys think it means?
i think it's about the artist doubting theirselves, or feeling judged, overpowered
"Lindsay Graham and assorted lesbians attend the exhibition of two performance artists"
me too Jamie, it was so lewd of them to do it

The banana guy makes me really uncomfortable

"Self Criticism"
this is like the early days of xiu xiu. it was just angela solo playing for hipsters on cocaine in movie theaters. thank goodness the band has progressed past that unsavory stage and is now highly acclaimed and respected!
