''La Forêt'' is the fourth studio album by Xiu Xiu, released on July 12, 2005 on 5 Rue Christine. The album features John Dieterich of Deerhoof and Devin Hoff as contributors.〔〔(Xiu Xiu – La Forêt (CD) ). Discogs. Retrieved 9 July 2011.〕 ==Overview== ''La Forêt's'' sound has been described as more subtle and less pop sounding than Xiu Xiu's previous album ''Fabulous Muscles.''〔〔 The album was seen as a return to Xiu Xiu's earlier sound.〔〔 The track "Saturn" deals with Jamie Stewart's frustration with then president George W. Bush and was inspired by Francisco Goya's Saturn Devouring His Son, while the track "Bog People" was written during a bout of sadness Stewart experienced while sitting alone on a couch during a storm.〔(Pitchfork Interviews: Xiu Xiu ). Pitchfork Media. 9 April 2006. Retrieved 9 July 2011.〕 The instrumentation includes clarinet, string arrangements, and vibraphone. Stewart said the tone of the album reflected his personal life where he began to internalize the difficult events that occurred around when ''Fabulous Muscles'' was recorded.〔 He described the album as "about reflection and resignation and coming to a sort of resolution".〔 Stewart described five main subjects of Xiu Xiu songs: family, politics, sex, love and lovelessness, and suicide. The ''La Forêt'' track "Bog People" is about family and loss, and was written late at night while Stewart was sad and alone during a thunderstorm. The track "Saturn" is based on Francisco Goya's ''Saturn Devouring His Son'' and "wanting to rape" then-President George W. Bush "to death".〔 Stewart had seen the former at the Prado during the 2004 U.S. presidential elections.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Forêt (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
