Xiu Xiu, the experimental rock duo, has announced a new album and live project titled "Eraserhead Xiu Xiu", inspired by the surrealist 1977 film "Eraserhead" by David Lynch. This project marks a decade since their acclaimed tribute to "Twin Peaks", and it's a deep exploration of Lynch's work, focusing on his debut feature. The album will be released on July 10th via Polyvinyl and will feature a haunting rendition of "In Heaven", a song originally composed by Peter Ivers. The project incorporates field recordings, homemade instruments, and raw audio components to capture the film's atmosphere of unrelenting dread and industrial nightmare. The band will also support the release with a run of West Coast tour dates later this year, including performances in Los Angeles and San Francisco. This project is a testament to Xiu Xiu's innovative approach to music and their ability to draw inspiration from diverse sources, creating a unique and captivating experience for their fans.
