Experimental band Xiu Xiu (made up of Jamie Stewart, Angela Seo, and David Kendrick) have releaed two new singles from their forthcoming record, 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto with Bison Horn Grips, which is out September 27 on Polyvinyl. The new songs are "Arp Omni" and "Veneficium".

Both tracks come with visuals, too. "Arp Omni" comes with a visualizer directed by Lin You, and "Veneficium" has a full "conceptual narrative video" directed by Luke Orlando.

See both below:

Of the video, Orlando said:

"On the conceptual level, I wanted to make something about the absurdity and complexity of how we connect with each other in the modern world. It started off as a critique of doomscrolling, but Xiu Xiu pushed and enabled me to make it more esoteric and interesting at every turn. Where we ended up is a much more positive spin on finding community by openly sharing your interests with the world. In the end it became a very ideal art project - I found myself working with some of my best friends to hand-paint toast, fabricate a bespoke costume, and create a unique logic inspired by the occult for the world in this video. Videos like this don’t happen often because artists/directors are rarely given the freedom to create without inhibition, and for that I thank Xiu Xiu and everyone at Polyvinyl for letting me go off."
