Use them eardrums while you've got 'em; you now have barely over a month to go before Liars release Liars, their fourth full length. Though perfunctory listens prove the band's initial "chilled out vibe" comment to be about as real as Radiohead's perpetual promise that their next one will be the rock album, it's quite a listen, and begs the question: just how will these blistering squalls translate live?

Answer, thy name is tour dates: Liars will bring the noise to a handful of European festivals before trucking over to the North Americas in September...with the ever fashionable Interpol. While Interpol's Our Love is no "My Love", there's still plenty to love about this pairing. Although we do hope Angus and co. manage to squeak some dingy basement/loft shows into this arena-addled itinerary.

In other Liars news, the trio will drop the first UK single from Liars, "Plaster Casts of Everything", via Mute on August 6 in the UK, August 14 digitally in the U.S., and on 7" in the U.S. on August 28. The UK CD version comes backed with "Mimic the Hurricano", while the 7" sports "Volcano Police" on its flip. The U.S. download has both songs, while the 7" has "Mimic the Hurricano".

Liars also pop up on that Mighty Robot DVD and that free Adult Swim comp, while one of 'em even found time to design some cover art for Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Interpol, meanwhile, likely won't be experiencing the comfort of their own beds until December.
