Historically, Xiu Xiu has not been a band that’s easy to listen to. In fact, their music is often difficult and, occasionally, downright painful. Take, for example, their cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” off of 2003’s “A Promise.” On this version, the band trades the jaunty syncopation and gritty, soulful vocals of Chapman’s recording for a crawling pace and the whiny, struggling voice of Xiu Xiu frontman Jamie Stewart.
