Liars' Fourth Album Revealed!
It's been mere months since we last pored over the MySpace blog of art-punk outfit Liars, gleaning what we could about their work on the follow-up to last year's impressionistic Drum's Not Dead. But, thanks to some far-less cryptic information just delivered to the Pitchfork news team in the form of a press release, we're now caught up on all things Angus.
On August 28, the folks at Mute will release Liars' Liars, the band's fourth long-player. Yes, a self-titled album from the band that brought you They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top and They Were Wrong, So We Drowned. (Looks like their first choice , We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank, was already taken.)
Apparently, this new album serves as Angus Andrew's big Neil Young moment. Says Andrew: "I'd never felt like a songwriter 'til this album... If you said I'd be playing guitar solos, I'd have called you a liar." So that's the "chilled out vibe" they muttered about on last check, eh?
Liars will come three ways: on a CD, a slab of albino vinyl, and through the magic of computer technology. The tracklist is posted below; you'll note the utter lack of longwinded statements-as-titles this time out, a trick Modest Mouse can apparently keep for themselves.
Also, Liars freaks not already up on the free track posted as part of the Warm & Scratchy comp should click accordingly.

03 Leather Prowler
04 Sailing to Byzantium
