Liars

Liars – Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross – have announced further details of their eagerly awaited new album. Titled WIXIW (pronounced “wish you”), the 11-track album was preceded by the single, No.1 Against The Rush, which was described as “a dark pop masterpiece” by KCRW’s Mario Cotto.

WIXIW, their sixth album, is out via Mute on June 5th, 2012. It was recorded in LA, self-produced by the band with additional production from Daniel Miller and mixed by Tom Biller.

Formed the Los Angeles area in 2000, Liars soon moved around the world from Brooklyn, NY to Berlin, Germany to forest-hidden cabins and underground bunkers. Every album has explored complex and often challenging themes and dove into widely different sides of the band. As they constantly evolve, WIXIW, sounds both wildly unique and distinctly LIARS.

The title, WIXIW, is explained by Angus Andrew, “’wish you’ is a familiar and universal sentiment of longing and hope, but when misspelt becomes uniquely shrouded and difficult to interpret, which in many ways is representative of our music and the songs we wrote for this album”.

He continues, “the word being a palindrome offered us some comfort, and came from superstitious behavior that was the result of extreme uncertainty and doubt. The word and spelling struck us because it seemed to exude a special quality or power.”

Andrew laughs, “If we aren’t confusing people, it’s not us. If we aren’t confusing ourselves with what we do, then we’ve failed.”
