LIARS
ANNOUNCE FIRST DETAILS OF THE NEW ALBUM OUT JUNE 5TH
Liars – Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross – announce the first details of a new album, out on Mute on June 5th 2012, their sixth studio album and follow up to 2010’s critically lauded Sisterworld, which garnered an 8.1 Pitchfork rating and Best New Music distinction. The Los Angeles Times said, “Bands that do what they want to do because they believe in it – and trust the intelligence of their listeners – are the future. That is the brave new world of Liars.” Fans and critics can rest assure that Liars are doing just that with the forthcoming album; following their hearts.
The announcement follows a series of clips which the band uploaded on their Tumblr, http://amateurgore.tumblr.com/ which has given rise to much speculation on where this ever evolving, ever influential band were headed.
The new album recording saw the band working more collaboratively than on previous recordings, and began when Angus Andrew and Aaron Hemphill moved into an isolated cabin in the mountains to begin writing.
Recorded in LA, self-produced by the band with additional production from Daniel Miller and mixed by Tom Biller, the album, is hard to shake, tough to pin down, and impossible to get out of one’s head even after an initial listen. Simultaneously the most accessible and most challenging release from these iconoclasts, it is both a summation of Liars’ work up to now, and a complete break from anything you’d ever heard the band do previously.
“If we aren’t confusing people, it’s not us,” Andrew laughs. “If we aren’t confusing ourselves with what we do, then we’ve failed.”
Stay tuned for more info on the new album coming from Liars…
