Liars’ Angus Andrew has said, “If we aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t confusing people, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not us. If we aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t confusing ourselves with what we do, then we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve failed.” WIXIW (pronounced “wish you”), the new album from Liars, rounds off the sharper edges of their sound and throws a thick blanket of texture over it. That’s not to say they have ditched chaos and gone straight. But instead of bursts of jagged drum, guitar and screams, the chaos is created by layers of found sound (as I listen to the album now, I can hear two or three species of frog chirping and peeping along with hardwood thwacks in a digitized echo chamber and some sort of animal\/human cries of panic – that’s what it sounds like to me, at least). The result is a cloud that is soothing and entrancing at times, claustrophobic at others. <\/p>\n
