8 Tracks To Subvert – Liars

Of all the bands to emerge from the New York underground explosion of the early noughties, Liars have travelled furthest. With no two albums sounding the same, the trio have long since departed from their angular art rock roots, experimenting with twisted, percussive demolitions of sound, flirtations with electronic powered pop songs, and even occasional excursions into straight up brutal rock. So it seemed apt to ask them to put us together a playlist of tracks that subvert – their entire career has been a subversion of itself.
You can catch the band playing Bristol's Simple Things festival on Friday 24th October – just don't go expecting the hits…
Check out the Simple Things website for the rest of the two day line up that includes Caribou, DFA 1979, Actress, Mogwai, Harvey, Haxan Cloak, Black Lips, Kode 9, Zomby, and a bazillion other superb sound botherers.
Bjork has always been one of my favourite lyricists. “If you complain once more, you’ll meet an army of me”… Not your typical “cat in the hat” cadence for a chorus, yet it connects with a very common and energizing emotion that is hardly eccentric.
