Liars
WIXIW (180 Gram Vinyl)
Mute
Released on June 5, 2012

Liars have returned with their sixth studio album and follow-up
to 2010’s critically lauded Sisterworld. WIXIW was recorded in
LA and self-produced by the band with additional production
from Mute founder Daniel Miller and mixed by Tom Biller. The
band worked more collaboratively than on previous recordings
and began when frontman Angus Andrew and bassist Aaron
Hemphill moved into an isolated cabin in the mountains to
begin writing.
The album is simultaneously the most accessible and the most
challenging release from this iconoclastic band - it is both a
summation of Liars’ work up to now, and a complete break
from anything they have done previously.
As Angus jokes, “If we aren’t confusing people, it’s not us. If
we aren’t confusing ourselves with what we do, then we’ve
failed.”
