Liars: Mess
Kate Bush back on tour, Henrik Vibskov’s #PrivateJam, Liars’ new “Mess” and more in the music we tweeted this week
“Take my pants off. Use my socks. Smell my socks. Eat my face off.” The opening song, “Mask Maker,” from their seventh album Mess perhaps is a battle cry from the 14-year-old band Liars, who welcome experimentation across genres with open arms. The electronic album is a stark difference to their once guitar-heavy debut album, yet they’ve still preserved those raw, complex layers of texture. This “messiness” is pretty refreshing after listening to perfected, polished hits of the electronic music world. While the mood is dark, the trio show a playful side throughout the album that wills listeners to dance. Mess is out on 21 March via Mute Records.
