What we say
 This record left our Mr Productino feeling happy.
Next up the Liars with their self titled 4th album on mute. It opens with last weeks single of the week which is a snarling punky number. From here we are presented with a variety of styles and genres from Beck sounding rock songs to ambient tribal cave paintings to the somber Joy division. (... and Sonic Youth) Always subversive, its schizophrenic in its output taking you higher and wider than you'd dare tread without the cushion of music to explain the madness. A totally driven and exciting collection of songs from a bunch of fellas with the freedom of the city at their finger tips and on this release we see them paint the town red black AND blue. Dr Productino prescribes this album for constipation and rock moments galore...

What do you expect from Liars?
Noise? Concept? Both?
Their new LP delivers neither.
Liars – ‘Liars’ was recorded on the heels of 2006’s ‘Drum's Not Dead’ somewhere between LA and Berlin. Liars’ 4th album marks another bold transition for Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross. For the new album Liars have foregone theory for a more practical approach, one based on traditional song structures and instrument usage.
“I’d never felt like a songwriter ‘til this album,” explains Angus. “If you told me last year Liars would release a record like this, I would have laughed. If you said I’d be playing guitar solos, I’d have called you a liar. We never know what we’re making ‘til it’s made… this time I’m a bit shocked.” |
