A Cups by Xani
A Cups is the latest instrumental single release from art rock violinist/improviser, Xani, inspired by boobs.
From Xani:
“When I was in my first few years of gigging at pubs and clubs, I was invited to join a bill featuring some of my favourite artists. When it was time for my set, one of the artists got on the mic and introduced me as: ‘just like Andrew Bird, but with boobs’. What? I felt awkward as hell and like I was about to get on stage with the audience either comparing me to Andrew Bird (who I sound nothing like, except that I also play the violin), or checking out my boobs. Or both. This is just one of many stories I have collected over the years about what it’s like to not be a man musician in our misogynistic music scene.
So I’m responding to this experience with music.
A Cups is an instrumental, jazz/rock track inspired by my boobs. The track is big and bold, loud and magnetic, and an outrageous celebration of my boobs on my terms. I have very small boobs - ‘A cup’ size to be exact. They are easy to look after and I don’t really ever need to wear a bra for support. And ultimately, my boobs have absolutely no impact on my music-making.”
