I really like it

but dont know what took so long as the album sounds almost exactly the same as the myspace demos (unless I accidentally downloaded the demos), the bull and the ram is probably the best song of 2009

- I've got all the demo versions and I'd say they sound vastly different in many cases.
  
  Though Jamie's contributions are subtle, they certainly add lots to the songs. All the synth strings and backing vox which weren't on the demos.

this and the Zol Jesus album are current faves. any possibility of a UK tour?

    - it could easily be freddy ruppert / nika roza as a tour though
      
      jamie stewart doesn't need to be involved in the live shows as he's not too heavily involved in the recordings.
      
      also the dates on the myspace seem to be freddy ruppert solo.
      
      ah man, i'd love to see a xiu xiu/former ghosts/zola jesus collaborative tour with solo sets so much

Freddy Ruppert live

This is my album of the year by miles.

Is this available for a legal download anywhere?

Itunes/eMusic don't seem to have it.
