Xiu Xiu‘s much anticipated LP Forget is due out February 24th via Polyvinyl, and today we check out the trio’s new video for the album track, “Jenny GoGo“. Directed by Victor Belozerov, the visuals feature rough-hewn animations over a bed of flickering static, and these faceless figures and lo-fi forms seem to cryptically depict Jamie Stewart‘s haunting lyrics. Xiu Xiu’s expert ability to empty a pop song of all its’ comfortable elements, replacing them with our collective feelings of anxiety and horror, is on seductive and full display here. Human angst has rarely sounded so terrifyingly beautiful!
