Video: Liars - "Mask Makers" (Extended Version)

The Liars manage to squeeze out yet another video before years end, this time it’s for Mess album opener “Mask Maker.” Directors of Photography Zen Sekizawa & Ernesto Lomeli keep things relatively simple with the tight shot of band member Aaron Hemphil but still retain the beauty and uneasiness of both the new extended version of the song and the existing universe of videos that have been shared from the Mess album thus far.

As an added bonus the band have made the extended version of the track available for free download for a limited amount of time, grab yours here and enjoy the video below…

Video: Liars – “I’m Not Gold”

The Liars really have had a great year, their new record Mess is still one of my favorites with only three more months to go in 2014 so this is me saying it WILL be on my year end list come December. The accompanying video’s for Mess’ singles so far have also been super entertaining and different from anything else that's going on out there and today’s new addition of “I’m Not Gold” is just another notch in that belt of accomplishments. Angus Andrew’s hallucinatory anguish is on full display in the video that was directed by LaurieLynch, great stuff to watch, annoying to screen capture!

Video: Liars - "Pro Anti Anti"

We are over halfway through 2014 and I can confidently say that the Liars most recent release will absolutely make my year end best of list. “Pro Anti Anti' is the latest single and video taken from the aforementioned MESS LP  and see’s the group continuing their fascination with digital effects both in the studio and via their videos. Yoona Park handles directing duties and with the help of the killer tune somehow makes something as pedestrian as a photo-shoot seem so damn sinister.

"Pro Anti Anti" is out today on limited colored vinyl and download and features remixes by Nik Void and Gabriel Gurnsey (Factory Floor), London based producer, Truss and one from the Melbourne collective Nest Of Teens (who remixed Liars’ previous single, ‘Mess On A Mission’). In addition, the single comes backed with an exclusive new track ‘Waste Fraud’ and a radio mix from Daniel Miller.

YES! For the seventeenth installment of the UO Music Video series, the Liars have teamed up with wunderkind director Luis Cerveró on the song "Mess on a Mission" off the bands fantastic new album Mess. The clip is most certainly as unique as the band themselves are.

Listen: Liars – “Mess On A Mission”

Liars are gearing up to drop the follow up to 2012’s WIXIW with a new record due out on March 24^th via Mute. The LP will be called Mess and based on the first single; “Mess On A Mission” the band is further developing the electronic experimentation heard on WIXIW, check it below..

Video: Liars - "WIXIW"

Liars have shared a stark, minimal, black-and-white video for the title track off their 2012 record, WIXIW. The video was directed by Alex/2Tone and depicts a man's repeated failed attempts at a slam dunk alongside some African looking tribal type costumed dancer. 2Tone recently told Entertainment Weekly, it's like the Greek myth of Sisyphus, in which a man is punished with unsuccessfully rolling a boulder up a hill for eternity, "as told by a young ballplayer lost in a haze of codeine and prescription weed."

Weird stuff but hey this is the Liars we are talking about here.

Video: Liars – “Octagon”

The Liars released their latest video from this year’s WIXIW LP. “Octagon” see’s the trio performing in the space they wrote and recorded the album in with some VHS type noise layered for good measure, something a little more straightforward for a band that is anything but.

Video: Liars – “Brats”

L.A. art-punk trio The Liars recently released their latest full-length via Mute entitled WIXIW. We have already shared the fantastic video for “No. 1 Against The Rush,” one of my personal favorite tunes of 2012 and today we can share the next round of visuals from the LP in the form of “Brats.” The video includes twisted computer-generated renderings, as produced by Ian Cheng, of a re-imagined hunter and rascally rabbit at odds, characters and scenarios that should ring a bell to most, watch for the band appearance towards the end.

Back after the holiday weekend picking up right where we left off last week. Liars release their sixth album, WIXIW (pronounced "wish you” via Mute on June 4 in the UK, and June 5 in the U.S. You've heard "No. 1 Against the Rush" and "Octagon"; now you can listen to the full LP below.

Listen: Liars – “Octagon”

The new Liars album, “WIXIW” (pronounced "wish you") is just around the corner from being released. We have shared the excellent “No. 1 Against the Rush” with you as well as a video on the recording process just  earlier this week. Seems the band dropped another tune for our listening pleasure in the form of “Octagon.” Much like “No. 1” the song lives in an electronic world more so than the rock one that the band is known for.   WIXIW is out 4 June 2012 (UK) / June 5 (USA) and has artwork designed by John Weise, you can pre order the CD, deluxe vinyl (with CD) and limited edition vinyl with silk screened embossed covers hand dipped in black wax by the band HERE. Check out the tune below or over at Mute's Soundcloud page.

The new Liars album, “WIXIW” (pronounced "wish you") is just around the corner from being released. We have shared the very, very excellent “No. 1 Against the Rush” with you so far and if it is any indication of what the rest of the album will sound like than I have a midyear guess for  what my favorite LP of 2012 just might be. WIXIW is out 4 June 2012 (UK) / June 5 (USA) and has artwork designed by John Weise, you can pre order the CD, deluxe vinyl (with CD) and limited edition vinyl with silk screened embossed covers hand dipped in black wax by the band HERE.

Video: Liars - "No.1 Against The Rush"

I’m really loving the new Liars single that we shared a couple weeks back for “No.1 Against The Rush” from the bands forthcoming LP WIXIW so I was happy to see a video had been made, and what a video it is! shot in LA, by Todd Cole the visuals give us a little look into the life of a serial killer who's daily routine seems to be taking out members of the band, very creepy and very well shot.

"No. 1 Against The Rush" is released on 12" and digital download on 28 May, and precedes the 11-track album, WIXIW (pronounced "wish you"), out 4 June 2012 (June 5 in the USA).

The album, with artwork designed by John Weise, will be available on CD, deluxe vinyl (with CD) and limited edition vinyl with silk screened embossed covers hand dipped in black wax by the band.

Listen: Liars – “No.1 Against The Rush”

Last week the Liars dropped a new tune from their forthcoming LP WIXIW. “No. 1 Against the Rush” sees the band going the way of synths, somewhat reminiscent of Future Islands, but still keeping the Liars touch intact. Enjoy what I’m hearing so far; check out the tune below as well as a short trailer for the LP which should be out in June of 2012 on Mute.
