Liars is a three-piece band formed in 2000 consisting of Australian-born Angus Andrew (vocals/guitar), Aaron Hemphill (percussion, guitar, synth), and Julian Gross (drums). Although initially lumped into the New York dance-punk scene of the early 21st century, they have come to be categorized by their dramatic stylistic shifts between albums, while retaining a consistent interest in rhythm and sound texture. Liars are one of the many contemporary bands to draw from the late 1970’s British post-punk movement. Their first album, 2002’s They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top, bore some resemblance to the work of Delta 5 and Gang of Four, accenting their angular, acerbic punk with modern synths and drum machines. Liar’s second album, 2004’s They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, eschewed their debut’s trendy post-punk aesthetic in favor of dissonant atmospherics and electronic soundscapes. That album stratified fans and critics alike, especially chafing with those who took to They Threw Us All for the clear dance/punk leanings of a number of that album’s tracks (e.g. “We Live Northeast of Compton”). 2006 saw the release of Drum’s Not Dead., which continued the direction they had taken with They Were Wrong but was met with a much more favorable critical reaction.

Yo the site has been updated again, this time with samples of actual songs!! Apparently, according to Stereogum, they are called "Drip" and "Proud Evolution." Also, according to Angus, the album is about "alternate spaces people create in order to maintain identity in a city like LA ... where outcasts and loners celebrate a skewered relationship to society."

Angus Andrew looks like Jim Carrey; at least he did at Coachella.

I saw some interview that was pretty recent where Angus said that They Were Wrong was about the witch, so the direction they're taking now is the electric witch, so hopefully that will make a good combination with the stuff they've got on the Sisterworld

That would be pretty cool. From the new material I've seen on YouTube though, I wouldn't count on it. It kinda sounds like they're continuing in the direction of the self-titled, which is a tad disappointing, but new Liars is new Liars, so I'll take it.
