Originally released on Record Store Day in limited quantities, An Aggressive Chain Smoking Alcolohic is the debut solo album (under his given name, at least) from Xiu Xiu member Jamie Stewart. It was apparently written almost entirely using modular synthesizers and produced by Room 40 founder Lawrence English, an artist who knows much about making dark, twisted and otherworldly electronic pieces. The results are, for the most part, attractively out-there in the best possible way, with the duo sashaying between discordant soundscapes, clandestine ambient moodiness, panic-in-space weirdness, droning intensity and bizarre dystopian noise.
