Nina (Xiu Xiu album)

Nina is a Nina Simone tribute album recorded by Xiu Xiu. It was released on Graveface Records on December 3, 2013 to generally favorable reviews.

Recording

The idea for the album came while Jamie Stewart was on tour with Swans.Nina was recorded in a day. The album features Jamie Stewart's voice, Ches Smith on drums, Tim Berne and Tony Malaby on saxophones, Andrea Parkins on accordion, and Mary Halvorson on guitar. The latter four had experience in avant jazz. The album reimagines rather than recreates Nina Simone's songs. It was released on Graveface Records on December 3, 2013.

Reception

Nina received a "generally favorable" score of 65 (out of 100) from the ratings aggregator Metacritic. Nate Chinen from The New York Times described the album as accentuating Simone's "spooky, unsettling side". He adds that Stewart's vocals add to the "psychodrama" in "Four Women" and "the wildness" in "Wild Is the Wild". Chinen thought the art rock Nina Simone covers field was already crowded before Nina. Heather Phares of AllMusic considered Stewart's stylistic choices "provocative" and the album Stewart's "most avant-garde ... in years". She added that the album considered the "more progressive aspects" of Simone's music. Kyle Fowle of Slant Magazine thought the album to be Xiu Xiu's "most ambitious ... in years". He thought Stewart's vocal style was out of place on "Don't Explain" and "Just Say I Love Him". Billy Hamilton of Under the Radar wrote that Simone would approve of the album. Mark Richardson of Pitchfork noted a mystical connection between Xiu Xiu and Simone as artists who perform raw emotions, but described the album as a "wasted opportunity" and "weirdly conservative". For this, he blamed Stewart's vocals for being "theatrical" and insincere. Richardson praised the album's selection of songs covered.

Unentitled States Of Hysteria

by: Humanwine

A violent disorder stakes claims of it's righteousness
over the border
it feeds on those who eat up the bones of it's
casualties
the momentum of each daily cycle of "you're not me"
YOU'RE NOT ME A burn for a burn is as useless as apathy
we must make choice through action no matter the
fraction we stand for
gutting it's name and denouncing it's claims of "you're
not me"
YOU'RE NOT ME
It's in your mind Travel through time
It's in your face forgotten place
It's in your hands Forgotten lands
I'm twisting and turning
I'm buning my insides
I'm breaking on fire,
"Woe!" she cries no more, for you!
Eyes watching in the dark like a song done well or a
spell gone awry
and all the books were burned with any insight on how
to fix the wrongs back to right
gottah gather all together all of us a re running
scattered and we're pointing out that
you're not me
holding off your future dreams you'd rather scream in
fear that the not-me party is marching on
not like it's the only one
time
here
everyday for many long years people die Iraqis lacking
food and in health supplies
sanctioned by the brother with no compassion for the
other
with one outstretched hand the other rapes the land
in the name of democracy, flag of hypocrisy,
war is second nature there we're quick to turn in our
neighbor
the young have war in their eyes oh how this mighty
nation cries
"You Witch!"
"Communist"
"Pinko"
