Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceived as a brutal tribute to cinematic icon David Lynch, 'Eraserhead Xiu Xiu' eschews traditional musical blueprints to dive directly into historic industrial sound design principles. The seven-track progression utilizes complex modular synthesizer rigs, extreme electrical interference patterns, and homemade acoustic instrumentation. The experimental tracking culminates in a bleakly textured, noise-damaged performance of the cinematic piece 'In Heaven'.
