New York post-punk band Liars have been praised for their singular vision with their latest release WIXIW which sees them taking a whole new electronic direction, screaming & wailing guitars are swept away by synths, making it more accessible but a musical journey no less fascinating. Their video for ‘Brats’ has just been revealed which has some fascinating animation from Ian Cheng…think Bugs Bunny on acid:
Liars have a UK & European tour in October including London’s Scala on 16 October.
