Drums are dead

What has happened to Liars? They have changed. But isn't that what is so fascinating about them? They never stop changing. They went from nudity to disco-punk, then on to spastic tribal freak-outs and now on to this. I was kind of hoping they would stop at the spazz, but they didn't.

That doesn't mean what they are delivering now is bad at all. Because it is clear that their new material is fantastic. They are still as filthy as hell and they still deliver one heavy, sludgy punch. To my delight, they have gotten even noisier and even grimier. They have discovered their inner drone, yet at times they sound, believe it or not, almost catchy. On 'Houseclouds',it's as though Matt Bellamy has joined the band. But in a good way. 'Leather Prowler' tilts its hat to Human Animal and 'What Would They Know' sounds like the lovechild of Joy Division and Boris.

Sounds good doesnt it? Liars was released on Monday, and you can stream some tracks from it here.

Oh and I was right, Daft Punk are coming. Who would have thought? Pigs have flown
