Liars were conceived in Nov 2000 by and by on iI friends and ex-Los Angeles art students, Henry Louis Aaron Hemphill and Black Angus St. Andrew, reunited in Newly House of York City. They responded to a "musicians wanted" ad posted in a local record storehouse by deuce Nebraskans, Pat Noecker and Bokkos Albertson. The lurching Australian St. Andrew took on the vocal/frontman duties piece Hemphill became their guitar player and drum-machine software package applied scientist. Bassist Noecker and drummer Albertson make up the Liars speech communication calendar method of birth control subdivision. Combined, they write music -- surprisingly formulated after the beatniks ar laid consume on the brake drum political political machine -- exhibiting underlying elements of hood rock confect. Synthetic keypads, vocal inflection, and interspersed prearranged compositions, assorted with their guitar-bass-drums equating, create angular til forthwith melodic songs. Liars ar remindful of U.K. groups that embraced dancing music during the by and by '70s/early '80s (A Certain Proportion, Crowd of Four, the Slits) -- bands that are totally known for perniciously adding danceable rhythms to punk rock.

The album was recorded in just now deuce years by producer/engineer Steve Revitte, who's topper known for this put to work with the Beastie Boys and Lee "Gallus gallus feed" Perry. Late the chase year, Noecker and Albertson left the ring and percussionist Julian Gross was recruited as a successor. The trine began recording the second Liars album at Andrew's house in the forests of Newly Jersey with friend and co-producer Dave Sitek. The results,
They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, which was ecclesiastic by experimental electronic music and German legends close to witchery, arrived in betimes 2004. Afterwards moving to Berlin, Liars got tied to a greater extent ambitious on
Drum's Not Dead, a construct album revolving but around creativeness and question accompanied by little films by the band and other filmmakers. The band took a much more than stripped-down approach for 2007's self-titled platter album, which featured more structured songwriting and a harder-edged sound.
