LIARS (Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross) NEW VIDEO for “Mess On A Mission” was co-produced by Urban Outfitters as part of their Video Series and directed by Luis Cervéro (of CANADA).  Shot in the band’s hometown Los Angeles over the course of 12 hours, Luis’ captured the Liars’ movements from four different angles against a green screen filled as the band fights off everything from monsters to sacrificial tribal rituals. Tracking this unique partnership, Angus kept a video diary that documents why Luis’ video treatment “immediately stood out” explaining, “he was really fascinated by the idea, that nowadays, in filmmaking, you can no longer tell what’s real and what isn’t.”  We’ll let you decide for yourself what is “fact” and what is “fiction”—be sure to keep an eye out for Julian’s parents in the meantime!

Liars’ “Mess On A Mission” is the seventeenth installment of Urban Outfitters Video Series that has featured videos from Washed Out, Classixx, Tame Impala and The War On Drugs to name a few.  Check out their website for more of the exclusive interview about the video as well as behind the scenes action from the shoot.
