“While Angel Guts: Red Classroom might be Xiu Xiu's most freakish record, I can't help but feel a little underwhelmed by some of the purely freakish tracks here.”
“Angel Guts: Red Classroom comes bearing the promise of being the most dark and bleak Xiu Xiu album to date. The source for the title of Jamie Stewart's L.A. album is a “Japanese erotic noir” that explores “racialized sex, double suicide, double penetration, criminality, fear of physical harm.””
