I have never been a fan of Liars (the band... and people who tell lies). I tried to listen to their previous albums, They Were Wrong, So We Drowned and Drum’s Not Dead when they first released, but I was not very trilled by them. If memory serves me right, I thought the albums were too disjointed and they lack a sense of direction. Nevertheless, for the past week, I have been listening to their upcoming self-titled record (out on August 28), and I must say, I am kind of in love with it at the moment. The album is driven by a slight avant-garde undertone; Liars applied multi-layers of experimental instrumentations in a bundle of the songs. For instance, "Leather Prowler" composes of heavily distorted basslines, bizarre sounding piano rhythms, and echoing vocal while a noisy rhythmatic background and again, echoing vocal is the foundation of "Pure Unevil". I might be crazy to think this: but the vocals on some of the tracks like "Plaster Casts of Everything" and "Sailing to Byzantium" sound very similar to the vocal style of Klaxons! Liars is an album that features a vast level of sophistication. It explores with a range of musical ideas from interplaying with multiple genres to experimenting with sound effects. Yet, the album as a whole does not feel scattered as the songs interlock with one another, creating a very cohesive sounding record.Plaster Casts of Everything [wicked-cool song]
Leather Prowler [wicked-cool song]
Freak Out [wicked-cool song]

It's so nice for me to have found this blog of yours, it's so interesting. I sure hope and wish that you take courage enough to pay me a visit in my PALAVROSSAVRVS REX!, and plus get some surprise. My blog is also so cool! Don't think for a minute that my invitation is spam and I'm a spammer. I'm only searching for a public that may like or love what I write.
Feel free off course to comment as you wish and remember: don't take it wrong, don't think that this visitation I make is a matter of more audiences for my own blogg. No. It's a matter of making universal, realy universal, all this question of bloggs, all the essential causes that bring us all together by visiting and loving one another.
You must not feel obliged to come and visit me. An invitation is not an intimation. Also know that if you click on one of my ads I'm promised to earn 8 cents for that: I would feel happy if you did click it, but once again you're totaly free to do what ever you want. I, for instance, choose immediatly to click on one of your ads, in case you have them. To do so or not, that's the whole beauty of it all.
I think it's to UNITE MANKIND that we became bloggers! Don't see language as an obstacle but as a challenge (though you can use the translater BabelFish at the bottom of my page!) and think for a minute if I and the rest of the world are not expecting something like a broad cumplicity. Remenber that pictures talk also. Open your heart and come along!!!!!
Thanks for the comment Joshua... you blog looks very interesting too, although your language and unfortunately, I'm not sure how to use the BabelFish thing.
