Forget (stylised as FORGET) is the tenth studio album by experimental band Xiu Xiu, released on February 24, 2017. Produced by John Congleton, Greg Saunier, and Angela Seo, it features contributions from Charlemagne Palestine, Kristof Hahn, Vaginal Davis, and Enyce Smith. Background The album cover bears Arabic calligraphy that translates to "we forget". Xiu Xiu leader Jamie Stewart has stated that the album cover has no meaning besides that "it looks beautiful" and is not meant as a political statement: "in hoping to depoliticize it, I suppose that it becomes political." "Petite" and "Faith, Torn Apart" are about women used in sex trafficking on Backpage. The title was further explained by Stewart: “To forget uncontrollably embraces the duality of human frailty. It is a rebirth in blanked out renewal but it also drowns and mutilates our attempt to hold on to what is dear.” In a press release, the album was marketed as the band's "most direct engagement with pop music".

Notable quotes

“[M]y memory rests, but never forgets what I lost.”
— Billie Joe Armstrong, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", American Idiot (2004), California: Reprise Records
“That frivolous young widow ought to have paid for the solace she declared so often she found in books. "I must read to forget." All very well, but she should not forget to pay for the means of forgetfulness. The waters of Lethe may be waters bought without money and without price, but my books ought to be paid for in cash.”
— William Darling, The Bankrupt Bookseller, 1947, p. 178.
“I’m the best there is at what I do. At least the people still living after I’m done undoing would say that. Everyone calls me Wolverine. I don’t remember other names. In fact, I don’t remember much of anything.”
— James Logan Howlett (Hugh Jackman), X-Men Origins: Wolverine (video game) (2009)
“You forget a thousand things every day, pal. Make sure this is one of 'em.”
— Michael De Santa, The Jewel Store Job, Grand Theft Auto V
“Unliving things have no passions, and no memory: mere matter is the amnesia of the universe.”
— John C. Wright, The Far End of History (2009) in Gardner Dozois & Jonathan Strahan (eds.) The New Space Opera 2 (mass market paperback edition, ), p. 589
“Etiam oblivisci quod scis interdum expedit.”
— It is sometimes expedient to forget what you know.
