As revealed by Angus Andrew in a recent Progress Report, Liars are experimenting with some new textural territory, mining more electronic sounds and beats. We got a sense of that on the first single, “No. 1 Against The Rush,” but it’s even more apparent on the newly surfaced “Octagon,” a track a lot of people [...]

Liars' new song sounds like a hybrid of two Radiohead albums.

‘No.1 Against The Rush’ is the new single from Californian Indie-Electro weirdos and Mute signees, LIARS. The track starts of well with some lovely electronic tones but around the halfway point slips into slightly mediocre Folktronika. Luckily one of the biggest perks of being on Mute must be access to the legend that is Mr. [...]

Liars' No. 1 Against The Rush was the initial fully-sculpted piece unfurled from their ambiguously entitled forthcoming full-length WIXIW and it remains its outstanding oeuvre both immediate and enduring. However here to rub some grubby house womp over its previously unassuming electronica stylings is Depeche Mode originator and fellow Warpster  Vince Clarke , whose radical overhaul exudes ominousness; representative of a restless tide of hedonism-geared headfuck to keep feet chained to the imperceptible dancefloor enshrouded in dimness below and ecstasy bathing in dilated pupils until withered and prune-like. Clarke's rework – and this rather more paranoiac deconstruction courtesy of Matmos – feature ...

Young Liars “Colours” is a track that has been bouncing off my walls since late 2010. The band has finally released a music video of it, and it’s great. The band is playing the song above a highway while you get a montage of different colors mixing together. “Colours” is off their Homesick Future EP, [...]

My CMA group is currently debating continental spelling issues, unsure whether it’s appropriate to use maximisation instead of maximization for example, so seeing the title of this video again (I reviewed the Young Liars’ EP “Homesick Future” back in February) made me laugh. Still my favorite track of theirs, it’s now a single and is [...]

Incredibly, the collision of Liars and Matmos doesn't leave a pretentious mess all over the road What do you get when you take Liars (a band who in the past have called their songs things such as Scarecrows on a Killer Slant and If You're a Wizard Then Why Do You Wear Glasses?), then add sonic experimentalists and Björk collaborators Matmos (a duo whose first album made music out of the neural activity of crayfish and who have also created techno out of the sound of liposuction)? A pretentious mess, right? Well, almost disappointingly, no. Matmos's take ...

El próximo 4 de junio llegará a las tiendas el nuevo álbum de Liars, trío de noise y dance punk neoyorkino, titulado WIXIW. Este álbum incluirá el sencillo “No. 1 Against The Rush” mismo que tendrá su propio lanzamiento el próximo 28 de mayo e incluirá remixes de Vince Clarke y Matmos, este último recién [...]

Angus Young, when speaking about the new Liars [Facebook/Website] record last month, admitted, ‘I don’t think I’ve been this scared of a record we made since Drum’s Not Dead.’ I’ll be honest: I haven’t heard the album in question, as I got into Liars with the release of Sisterworld but haven’t started working my way [...] Liars – WIXIW was originally published on The Blue Walrus

Two years ago, we were able to enjoy Beck ’s Record Club . I am sure most of you know what it was about, but if you don’t, let me explain to you one of many amazing ideas Beck had: a musical project which consisted in teaming up with his favourite musicians to cover complete records in just one day at his studio.  I am showing you the first song covered in Record Club Number 4: Guns In The Sky , a cover of the album Kick by INXS . In this edition, the musicians joining Beck were: Liars, Vincent">St. Vincent ...

Liars have let slip a second single from their eagerly anticipated new album WIXIW (Wish You) out at the end of next week.  A largely electronic album, 'Octagon' is probably the best track to prepare you for how different WIXIW is from their previous releases with it's...

Liars‘ much anticipated sixth studio album, WIXIW,  is only a couple of weeks away from hitting stores. The threesome released their first single ‘Number One Against The Rush’ last month and they’ve just offered another taste off WIXIW, ‘Octagon’. WIXIW is read ‘wish you’ and singer guitarist Angus Andrew talking about the album title said [...]

Last week, we posted a remix of Liars’ new single “No. 1 Against The Rush” from synthpop pioneer Vince Clarke. And today, we’ve got a very different reworking of that same track, this time from the playful and conceptually bent IDM duo Matmos, who transform the song into a gliding, skittering pileup of drums and [...]
