Liars Launch European Trek, Get Naked

Cheekily billed on their website as "a great stocking stuffer," and said to contain "Slamin'[sic] Beats!" the single for "It Fit When I Was a Kid" will invite lawsuits beginning November 21 when Mute Records releases it on 7" picture-disc vinyl. (America will have to wait until December 13.) This hyper-limited run of 500 copies will be censored; however, the band, iconoclasts that they are, plan to release an **uncensored** edition-- on edible paper, no less!-- via their website in the near future. Pause for a moment to let the shock and awe sink in. Edible paper! Why did Karen O break up with this guy again?

You're probably already there, but we'd be remiss if we did not mention that said Liars website currently features the sure-to-be-infamous cover in all its uncensored glory, right there for the corruption of young web-surfers all over the world. In other words: FREE PORN. Did you hear that? That was the P-fork hit counter exploding.

Oh yeah, there's music on the thing, too. The single will be backed by a remix of "It Fit When I Was a Kid" called "Don't Techno For an Answer", as if you care about that. Mute's will also offer the single on CD, with bonus videos directed by the band members. Tracklists:

As previously reported, 2006 will see the release of Drum's Not Dead, the third Liars LP and another guaranteed rank-splitter. The follow-up to 2004's noisy witchcraft concept record, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, Drum's will be bundled with a bonus DVD featuring three videos for each song, directed by Liars' Angus Andrew and Julian Gross, as well as German filmmaker Markus Wambsganss.
