Xiu Xiu - Deforms The Unborn

"On the occasion of Danh Vo: Take My Breath Away at the Guggenheim Museum, Xiu Xiu premiered an extended-length piece about the agonizing experience of demonic possession, based on firsthand accounts of exorcisms in modern history. This new composition was inspired by Danh Vo’s body of work titled after obscenities uttered in William Friedkin’s classic horror film, The Exorcist (1973). The two set, single night performance was on May 8, 2018.
This music is the track that Ches Smith and Angela Seo violently improvised to on drums and organ and over which Jamie Stewart freakishly recited the text that was to become the bulk of the lyrics for their 2019 album Girl with Basket of Fruit. Essentially making it prelude to that work.
