#Liars Announce Album, Share Video for New Song: Watch

Angus Andrew’s Liars have announced their 10th album. It’s called The Apple Drop. The follow-up to 2018’s Titles With the Word Fountain is out August 6 via Mute. Today (May 5), Liars have shared “Sekwar,” along with a video directed by Clemens Habicht. Watch the dystopian clip below, and scroll down for the LP art and tracklist.

“Throughout Liars’ history I have consistently tried to develop new methods of creating music,” Angus said in a press release. “On each project I’ve essentially abandoned previous methods and attempted to instead learn different ways of writing and producing songs. Where once I perceived this journey as a straight line, I’m increasingly realising my trajectory is more akin to a spiral. As new ideas are generated, older ones take on new meaning and evolve further.”

For The Apple Drop, Angus worked with avant-garde jazz drummer Laurence Pike, multi-instrumentalist Cameron Deyell, and lyricist Mary Pearson Andrew. “For the first time I embraced collaboration from an early stage, allowing the work of others to influence the work of my own,” Angus said. “My goal was to create beyond my abilities—something bigger than myself.” He added that “momentum and revolution were themes I wanted to explore, to give the listener this sense of transformation and to feel like you were being transported through the wormhole.”
