As one of the original Anticon members, Alias is almost certified to defy expectation. Whether that's always a good thing, well, we'll leave that up to your ears. On August 30, he'll give us all another chance in what can only be described as a family affair. Seriously, I'm bound by professional ethics and press releases to report that Alias' younger brother Ehren has been given equal billing for the new album, whose title is derived from their grandmother's name, Lillian. Ehren's no slouch in the studio either, but he's more of the live instrumentation mould, capable of playing alto and soprano sax, clarinet, and flute. So yeah, probably not what you expected Alias to be doing to follow up 2003's Muted but, next to composing hip-hoppish electronica, that's what he does best. These tracks:

01 Eman Ruosis Iht
02 Back and Forth
03 Lillian
04 Sunfuzz
05 Miso Stomp
06 Ladders
07 Blurry Edges
08 52nd & West
09 Most Important Things
10 Moonfuzz
11 Narrowed Iris
12 Cobblestoned Waltz
13 Netting Applause
