This Xiu Xiu album is rife with affecting melodies and a variety of pleasant and percussive instrumentation. Songs feature a large dynamic range -- from near-whispering quiet to full assault/cacophony, though the chaotic parts are typically reigned in to serve the overall structure of the songs. Some songs are melancholy/simmering/quiet, others are bona fide pop/rock songs. The general vibe is playful and cathartic. One of the last great Xiu Xiu albums. My favorites are A Promise, Knife Play, and Fabulous Muscles.
