# Xiu Xiu returns with new LP
After experiencing the weirdo-pop pleasure of 'Hi' and its accompanying
[video][1]{: target="_blank"}, we were very much excited for [Xiu
Xiu][2]{: target="_blank"}'s upcoming album *Always*. After hearing the
full album, we can safely say it's going to be one of the best of 2012.
It's interesting to see how **Jamie Stewart**'s baby has evolved;
*Always* still packs the flourishes of avant-garde weirdness that
characterized the group's early work, but now it lends flavor to catchy
electronic pop songs. The result is an album that feels closer to their
[live set][3]{: target="_blank"} than ever before; still flagrantly
unconcerned with mass-media attention but strange enough to attract
mutants with an ear for oddities. *Always* is out March 6th via
**Polyvinyl**. Get it.
**Tracklist:**
*01 Hi
02 Joey's Song
03 Beauty Towne
04 Honeysuckle
05 I Luv Abortion
06 The Oldness
07 Chimneys Afire
08 Gul Mudin
09 Born to Suffer
10 Factory Girls
11 Smear the Queen
12 Black Drum Machine*
