Xiu Xiu
Unclouded Sky (180 Gr)
Tenth anniversary resissue of the long-out-of-print RSD title. Now on white/silver vinyl.
During the summer of 2013, Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie
Stewart and producer Shahzad Ismaily traveled to Sigur
Rós's personal studio in Iceland. Having access to the space
for only one day, Stewart worked on setting down his
interpretations of American and Caribbean spirituals using
a 1953 Silvertone guitar given to him by his father (producer
Michael Stewart), the man who introduced him to religious
thought and folk music.
The resulting album, Unclouded Sky, explores themes of
death and faith over the course of nine songs (originally
composed between 1850 and 1920), which are interspersed
with field recordings Stewart made in the jungle of Guyana. Record Store Day 2014 release limited to 1000 copies.
