Xiu Xiu’s Jamie Stewart on Charting a Healing Path from Trauma

Xiu Xiu, the highly experimental avant-garde rock band from
California has just released their 14th album, 13" Frank
Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips. It refers to
a type of switchblade, which Jamie Stewart from the band
collects. In this interview, Jamie tells us of the
multi-generational cycle of abuse within their family and of the
suicide of their father. Jamie also discusses their healing,
their therapy, and how they, along with their siblings, are
breaking the cycle that haunts them.
