Liars - Sisterworld

Released: 08/03/2010 Mute
Liars take delight in confounding listeners with each new release, and Sisterworld is no exception. It explores the experiences of LA’s lost souls. References to David Lynch are plentiful – although sometimes applied carelessly. Strange and innovative sounds from the experimental trio.

MusicOMH“Both exhausting and exhilarating...” Sisterworld is, in musical terms, an interesting place to visit, but you'd definitely not choose to live there...

Dusted Magazine“Mixtape-friendly stunners and make-it-stop agony...” It will get partisans who vouch for it as the best thing they’ve done, while others will declare it unfit to suckle the teat of Blixa Bargeld. It’s worth arguing about...
