About
A Promise is Xiu Xiu's second LP, and was released 18 Feb. 2003 on 5 Rue Christine. It continued the experimental harshness, unsettling weirdness, and viscerally powerful sound that created a(n) famous/infamous reputation for Jamie Stewart, the band's central member and singer, that had followed him from his debut, Knife Play. This record is a more polished effort than the debut was. Production levels are higher, more instruments are used, and the sound is just more clean overall. Stewart's voice, while it still reaches uniquely disquieting and powerful tones with sheer force and drama, is a bit more controlled this .
