XIU XIU, now a three-piece featuring Jamie Stewart, Caralee McElroy, and Ches Smith, crafts a sickeningly intimate art that is equally sensual and icy. The first disc, a batch of covers, is an exercise in sisterly fan-dom and inspired innovation. Larsen's version of "Mousey Toy" is a six-minute electro-pop build with spoken computer vocals. Oxbow's cover of "Saturn" is gothic folk, backwoodsy and death-marching. The remix half kicks off with Gold Chains turning Caralee's self-reliance/submission anthem "Hello from Eau Claire" into a stuttering IDM club banger, chased perfectly by Xiu Xiu remixing their own "Ceremony" as upbeat new wave. Ending the remix record is To Live and Shave in L.A., who reworks the entire 'Air Force' album as a dreamy android crash-up full of new and charted sounds.
