In May of 2018, the band Xiu Xiu premiered a long piece titled "Deforms the Unborn" at the Guggenheim Museum. The work was about the "agonizing experience of demonic possession, based on firsthand accounts of exorcisms in modern history."
The composition was inspired by Danh Vo’s body of work titled after obscenities uttered in William Friedkin’s classic horror film, The Exorcist (1973).
Two years later, a three track LP was self-published by the band, as MP3s.
