Xiu Xiu are one of the best bands of the last 10 years. My hard-on for them has substancially softened but I still love them. Knife Play is my favorite.

Knife Play - Obscenely beautiful noisy electro pop. Can make a statue cry.
A Promise - Much more sparse. Still fucking incredible.
Fabulous Muscles - More electronic. Less noisy. Not as solid of an album.
La For?t - Sparce. Awesome. Definately a must own.
The Air Force - Decent. Similar to Fabulous Muscles in sound.
Women as Lovers - Better than the Air Force but nothing incredible. No real stand-out tracks.

Chapel of the Chimes is my favorite EP. Fag Patrol is good too.

Ciautastico! and the the other XXL album is great too. So are the Ten In The Swear Jar and 7 Year Rabbit Cycle albums.

Go to the show. They won't disappoint.
