Xiu Xiu announce new album, Ignore Grief

Xiu Xiu have announced a new album. On March 3, the group will release Ignore Grief via Polyvinyl. The first single is “Maybae Baeby.” Hear it below. Xiu Xiu are also touring this spring—check out those dates below.

Jamie Stewart said in a press release, “In ‘Maybae Baeby,’ the singer’s viewpoint is of a young person hiding in a fantastical conversation with a tarantula in order to escape a physically abusive parent. We were hiding within this fantasy of a fantasy, following the model of the late 1950s sub genre of ‘Teen Tragedy Songs,’ to try and find a way to come to terms with a number of staggeringly horrendous events that occurred to people close to the band over the last 2 years.”

Xiu Xiu’s last album was 2021’s OH NO.
