Title:	They Were Wrong, So We Drowned
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$10.00
Catalog #:	MUTE 9235CD

"The last band to so expertly execute the cocktail of menace and artful, brilliant chaos that Liars achieve for their second album, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, were fellow New Yorkers Sonic Youth, when they cut their epochal Bad Moon Rising album. It's a record from a band in transition, severing their ties with the scene they kinda inaugurated and have now, decidedly, outgrown. A band defining themselves only in terms of what they wish to achieve, the limits of their imagination. A band withdrawing to a basement deep in the wilds somewhere and letting their every little wrinkle of rampant creativity and twisted genius seep deep into the shadows of this most poignant and chilling ghost story."

Title:	Drum's Not Dead
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD/DVD
Price:	$12.00
Catalog #:	MUTE 9301CD

"Drum's Not Dead was partly inspired by the Liars' relocation to Berlin from NYC after their 2004 album They Were Wrong, So We Drowned. From clanging guitars, martial beats, dense drones and pulverizing rhythms to high dreamy harmonies, off-kilter guitar lines and soothing samples of waves lapping, this is Liars' finest, fullest and most unexpected album to date. Shredding all past reference points, Drum's Not Dead sees Liars taking another seismic step forward, switching continents, seizing new musical territory and expanding their audio-visual ambitions. Drum's Not Dead come with its own cinematic sister project -- a DVD, with three film versions of the album, directed by the band members Angus Andrew, Julian Gross & filmmaker Markus Wambsganss. Each film is comprised of videos for every track on the album: 36 videos total. From backstage travelogues to surreal animation and mini sci-fi epics, Liars document the process of recording, touring, then visually reinventing each track."

Title:	Sisterworld
Label:	MUTE USA
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MUTE 9429CD

"Liars return in 2010 with their fifth studio album; their boldest and most exhilarating record to date. Sisterworld was written and recorded in Los Angeles by Liars and Tom Biller and is an invigorating summation of their career so far. Building on the back-to-basics approach employed by previous album, Liars (2007), Sisterworld is a dense art-pop thrill from start to finish. Sisterworld is Liars' own space, completely devoid of influence, somewhere remote from the false promises and discarded dreams amassed in LA. In it Liars explore the underground support systems created to deal with loss of self to society. According to Liars - Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross - 'We're interested in the alternate spaces people create in order to maintain identity in a city like LA. Environments where outcasts and loners celebrate a skewered relationship to society.'"
