about

Released on vinyl in 2018,
Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu's first solo album under his own name,
written almost entirely on modular synths, An Aggressive, Chain Smoking Alcoholic sees Jamie explore the darkest reaches of his subconscious, push-ing, bending and shaping the sound to his will. Produced by ambient drone pioneer Lawrence English, this is an album of stark and menacing beauty, capturing the essence of some of the most brutal sections of Xiu Xiu from an even more twisted perspective.
