Product Description
This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Liars: Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill, Julian Gross.
The 2002 full-length debut of Brooklyn's Liars was one of the rallying cries of the punk-funk/post-punk revival, where the stylings of Gang of Four, A Certain Ratio, Pop Group, et al, fed the fires of a new generation also including the Rapture, Radio 4, Moving Units, and others. Concerned about pigeonholing, the Liars subsequently did a rapid about-face, jettisoning their rhythm section, adding Julian Gross to the lineup, and dropping the dance-rock sound.
In the place of their old format, the band dives headfirst into an experimental approach full of dizzying effects and often-harsh electronics that dance around unconventional song structures. To mix things up even further, THEY WERE WRONG, SO WE DROWNED is in fact a concept album about the myth of the German Witches of Brocken (hence the weird, spooky lyrics throughout). Challenging both themselves and their audience with a bracing brand of what might be described as avant-garde art-rock, the Liars up the ante with panache on their second album.
