Liars Confirm New Album Plans

American art-rockers Liars are set to return with their new album 'Sisterworld' next year.

Led by Angus Andrew, Liars emerged from New York's always inspirational music scene. Blurring the edges between art and music, the band seemed to draw on sources such as The Velvet Underground without ever losing sight of their own unique voice.

The band's ambitious album 'They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top' was released in 2001, alerting the world to a frenetic new presence.

Since then, Liars have released experimental albums such as 'Drum's Not Dead' before returning with their self-titled effort in 2007.

Recalling groups such as Swans and The Jesus And Mary Chain, 'Liars' was an enormous artistic success. Winning rave reviews it sparked a revival of the band's fortunes with Liars touring the world.

Releasing the follow up EP 'The Freak Out' last year, the band seem to be on inspired form. Like a dishevelled American cousin of The Horrors it hints at free form 60s psych rock but with its own artistic viewpoint.

Teasing fans with a series of cryptic announcements, including the launch of a new website, Liars have now confirmed details of their fifth studio album.

The band are due to release 'Sisterworld' next year. Liars explained in a statement that they were intending to create a space for outsiders in society. "We're interested in the alternate spaces people create in order to maintain identity in a city like L.A.," the band said.

"Environments where outcasts and loners celebrate a skewered relationship to society."
