Editor's review
Liars' remixed material takes the temporal claims of "postrock" one step further. Built on deep, industrial beats and mechanized melodies, this isn't just after rock--it's almost after humans. But playing rock tones through apocalyptic speakers suits the group; it's a feast of texture and pacing.
Biography
Fear is a very powerful emotion.
The last band to so expertly execute the cocktail of menace and artful, brilliant chaos that Liars achieve for their second album, "They Were Wrong, So We Drowned", were fellow New Yorkers Sonic Youth, when they cut their epochal Bad Moon Rising album. It's a record from a band in transition, severing their ties with the scene they kinda inaugurated and have now, decidedly, outgrown. A band defining themselves only in terms of what they wish to achieve, the limits of their imagination. A band withdrawing to a basement deep in the wilds somewhere and letting their every little wrinkle of rampant creativity and twisted genius seep deep into the shadows of this most poignant and chilling ghost story.
