Thom"

So sayeth Thom Yorke, granting the Radiohead seal of approval to the new Liars album in an April 16 blog post. What more of an endorsement do you need?

Liars begin a two-month world tour tonight in Poland. It takes them through Europe, Australia, and North America. The latter portion of the trek features support from Apes, Rabbits, and Deerhunter...perhaps Animal Collective will show up as surprise guests?
