[press release] Liars' sixth studio release, WIXIW hit shelves on June 5th and is being touted as “the best Radiohead album since Kid A.” In support of WIXIW, Liars began a run of summer tour dates last night in NYC at Webster Hall. Liars are excited to announce that Cadence Weapon and Unknown Mortal Orchestra will be joining the band on the road in select cities. Be sure to follow the band on Instagram for updates from the road @Liarsliarsliars! All tour dates are currently ON SALE!
The band recently released a video for their first single “No. 1 Against The Rush.” In traditional Liars fashion, the plot is drenched in layers of creepy madness, following each member of the band as they are abducted by a shadowy figure in downtown LA.
Aaron Hemphill discusses collaborating behind the scenes with the director, LA-based artist Todd Cole (known for his films for the fashion king Rodarte): “Beginning with Patrick Daughters' video for ‘Plaster Casts Of Everything,’ we've really enjoyed giving directors complete freedom in executing a visual interpretation of a Liars song entirely based on their own reaction… free from any factual references or creative input from us. We were really won over by Todd Cole's enthusiasm for ‘No. 1 Against The Rush’, as well as his very musical and rhythmic pacing in his treatment. Despite being wrapped head to toe in plastic, being dragged through broken glass, and being strangled to the ground, we had the easiest job to do on the set and we eagerly look forward to any new forms of punishment that can be inflicted upon us in making the next video.” The video was recently featured on the last episode of MTV’s Weird Vibes!
