Liars

Announce limited edition Record Store Day ‘Mess On A Mission’ string embedded vinyl 12′ – out 19 April.

“FACTS ARE FACTS AND FICTION’S FICTION”

CLASH – “2014 is all about ‘Mess’…It sounds exciting, it sounds new – it makes a man want to fall in love with this band all over again.”

Q **** – “Liars’ untidy room remains a wonderful place to visit”

LIARS (Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross) announce details of a very special Record Store Day release. ‘Mess On A Mission‘ will be released on a limited edition vinyl embedded with string. Says Angus Andrew: “We talked about the idea for days but weren’t at all sure it could physically be done. After all, pressing bits of colored string into the actual vinyl was nothing we’d ever heard of before. To us it seemed like such a unique and interesting way to extend the visual language of Mess right inside the music.”

‘Mess On A Mission‘, described by GQ as a “…frantic synthstorm” and by Metro as “a commanding comeback”, comes backed with remixes from Black Bananas (Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux / RTX / Drag City) and Silent Servant (Sandwell District / Hospital Productions) plus an exclusive b-side, ‘Blah Vets’. This limited release will be available exclusively on Record Store Day – 19 April – and will follow the release of Liars’ seventh studio album, Mess, out on 24 March 2014 on CD, double vinyl, download.

Mess – the follow up to 2012’s WIXIW – is an angry, ecstatic, primal burst of ritualistic electronics that sacrifices self-persecution for potent, purposeful abandon and sees Liars if maybe not quite at ease with the world, then at least staring it straight in the eye and showing their teeth.

There’s a playfulness to Mess that travels through to the album artwork, masterminded by Julian Gross who explains: “I wanted to manipulate something in a live setting, so it was always changing and not just static. Then this undulating string started looking like this animal – it looked cool and pretty, but also looked a bit fucked up and vibrant. A lot of those things are very similar to what we were trying to do with this record.”  Go to http://www.liarsliarsliars.com/ to see more.
