XIu Xiu's Jamie Stewart is back with his usual bang, this time adding another full-time member to the group's normally rotating roster of talent. Angela Seo is on board to assist with piano, synth and drum programming, while Deerhoof's Greg Saunier is producing (as well as actually playing on a number of tracks). Dear God, I Hate Myself, which is due out February 23rd on Kill Rock Stars, can be previewed in full at Spinner. Xiu Xiu will also be embarking on a massive world tour, kicking things off at Whelans in Dublin, one of the most fun venues on either side of the Atlantic -- if you're in Ireland, check it out, and if not, check out the jump.
