Liars Unveil Two New Tracks; New Album TFCF Out August 25

LIARS   UNVEIL TWO NEW TRACKS NEW ALBUM TFCF OUT AUGUST 25 WORLD TOUR BEGINS FRIDAY IN LONDON

Showing two facets of the brand new album, TFCF (which stands for Theme From Crying Fountain), “The Grand Delusional” opens with acoustic guitar (as Andrew has said, "There's acoustic guitar all over this record! How ridiculous is that?") while “Coins In My Caged Fist’” gallops along with drum machines and samples. “I wanted to do lots of sampling,” he says. “I’d done a little in the past, but I’d started to realize the possibilities of the process, of sampling myself playing ‘proper’ instruments, and then using the sampler to put it all together in an ‘artificial’ way.” Surrounding TFCF’s release, Angus and a new touring band will embark on a world tour that begins this Friday in London. Full details below with more to be confirmed. Visit Liars’s website for exclusive ticket and album bundles. Liars have, as a matter of course, sounded radically different with each album, pursuing new concepts and occupying diverse mindsets. On this, Liars’s eighth studio album, the bustling backdrops of Los Angeles, Berlin and New York have been replaced with a presence far more intimate and autobiographical as Liars once again boldly step out of their comfort zone into vastly new musical territory. Embark on The Path to Crying Fountain by listening to this specially-curated playlist from Mute. While navigating The Path, listeners will hear the sonic progression of Liars’s discography that has led to Crying Fountain. Following an amicable parting of ways with Aaron Hemphill, Liars is now just Angus Andrew, who decamped to his native Australia - specifically to a remote part of the Australian bush - to create an album unlike any Liars had attempted before. Cut off from the rest of the world in his remote home studio, with no other distractions, Angus gave free reign to artistic impulses he’d never explored and those included experimenting with the acoustic guitar and sampling. The album’s reinvention of the Liars paradigm – blurring the lines between electronic and acoustic, between the experimental impulse and the addictive pop sensibility – is evidence that Angus’s creative energies remain as healthy as ever, even given the upheaval within the group. TFCF was written and recorded by Liars (Angus Andrew). Butchy Fuego, who performed live with Liars following Julian Gross’s departure in 2014, plays drums on three tracks. TFCF was mixed by Gareth Jones and mastered by Christian Wright.     TFCF TRACKLIST The Grand Delusional Cliché Suite Staring At Zero No Help Pamphlet Face To Face With My Face Emblems Of Another Story No Tree No Branch Cred Woes Coins In My Caged Fist Ripe Ripe Rot Crying Fountain LIARS 2017 TOUR August 5 – London, England – VISIONS Festival August 7 – Primosten, Croatia – Superuho Festival August 10 – Bonnevoie, Luxembourg – Conges Annules August 12 – Sardinia, Italy – Here I Stay festival  at Fordongianus August 16 – Bergen, Norway – Perfect Sounds Forever August 18 –Stirling, Scotland – Doune The Rabbit Hole Festival August 19 – Brecon Beacons, Wales – Green Man Festival August 24 –Berlin, Germany – Pop-Kultur Festival September 13 – Detroit, MI – El Club September 15 – Chicago, IL – Riot Fest September 16 – Columbus, OH – Ace of Cups September 18 – Boston, MA – The Sinclair September 20 – Hamden, CT – The Ballroom at The Outer Space September 21 – Brooklyn, NY – Warsaw September 23 – Carrboro, NC – Cat’s Cradle September 24 – Asheville, NC – Orange Peel September 25 – Atlanta, GA – Aisle 5 October 6 – Portland, OR – Wonder Ballroom October 7 – Seattle, WA – The Crocodile October 10 – San Francisco, CA – Great American Music Hall October 13-15 – Joshua Tree, CA – Desert Daze Festival October 28 – Manchester, England – Transformer 2 October 30 – Bristol, England – Colston Hall November 4 – Copenhagen, Denmark – Jazzhouse November 9 – Utrecht, The Netherlands – Le Guess Who? Festival November 10 – Brussels, Belgium – Orangerie November 11 – Kortrijk, Belgium – Sonic City November 13 – Paris, France – Le Maroquinerie November 14 – Zurich, Switzerland – Salzhaus November 15 – Fribourg, Switzerland – Fri-Son November 16 – Milan, Italy – Magnolia November 17 – Rome, Italy – Monk November 18 – Bologna, Italy – Locomotiv November 29 – Bucharest, Romania – Control   Listen to “Coins In My Caged Fist” Listen to “The Grand Delusional” Listen to “Cred Woes” LIARS: WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | INSTAGRAM | YOUTUBE | SPOTIFY | APPLE MUSIC MUTE: WEBSITE | FACEBOOK | TWITTER | TUMBLR | SOUNDCLOUD
