4.0 excellentDorisPringleBrule | June 25th 15

Delicate and graceful but at the same time harrowing and intense. Jamie Stewarts vocal delivery on some of these songs is the best i've ever heard on a Xiu Xiu record. Definitely worth a listen.

3.5 greatwickhead | January 24th 14

This album for me is a little easier to digest. There are more soft songs and the lyrics aren't as bold as other ventures. However, that's not what I want when listen to XiuXiu. I want my comfort zone to shrink and shatter like my fragile perception of reality. Don't get me wrong this album delivered two of what are probably my most favorite songs from the artist 'bog people' and 'pox'. Interesting listen. Amazing perspective

2.5 averagemorrissey EMERITUS | June 24th 06

Not being a fan of cacophony and dissonance, Xiu Xiu always straddle the line between brilliant and unlistenable. On their past albums they always had a strong song base beneath the irregular and odd approach they often adopted. On La Foret, I have yet to really grasp the base underneath. It isn't a bad album, and fans of experimental indie will quite enjoy this album. But it lacks the pop base which made Xiu Xiu so engaging in the first place.
