Weirdos and other smart people rejoice, for new Liars music is coming! Via Mute Records:

The band, currently finishing the album at their studio in LA, have said that work on the new album was “almost the exact opposite experience to producing WIXIW”. WIXIW saw Liars experimenting with unfamiliar techniques, and, according to Angus Andrew, “Instead of being doubtful, work on the new album has been immediate, fun, instinctual and confident”. Learning from their experiences with WIXIW has found the band embracing spontaneity and, as Andrew explains, “Creation for creation’s sake. No rules. No mistakes’.

Liars, of course, famously made art-punks shake their asses with They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top in 2002, only to then completely baffle them with its breathtakingly brilliant and initially misunderstood follow-up They Were Wrong So We Drowned, and then proceeded to scare the crap out of everyone with the justly acclaimed and massively creepy Drum’s Not Dead. A couple of relatively normal albums followed, but the band curveballed their audience yet again with last years’ WIXIW (pronounced like saying “wish you” while sneezing), a grand electronic experiment that constituted very nearly as ambitious a creative leap for Liars as Kid A did for Radiohead. This new material seems to be in a similar vein, though there’s only about a minute to go on, so who knows? It’s a safe enough bet that the two songs the band released online last spring, “Perfume Tear” and “I Saw You From the Lifeboat,” will be representative. No title for the forthcoming LP has been announced, but the band has released these three teaser videos.
 

 
BONUS! Here’s Liars live on Minnesota Public Radio’s The Current, performing WIXIW track “No. 1 Against the Rush.”
