Liars reveal new album details
Liars have announced the details of their forthcoming album.
'Liars' -- the follow-up to 2006's 'Drums Not Dead' -- will hit Stateside on August 28, and in the UK on August 20.
Frontman Angus Andrew said that the new album is a real turning point for the band.
"I'd never felt like a songwriter 'til this album," said Andrew. "If you told me last year Liars would release a record like this, I would have laughed. If you said I'd be playing guitar solos, I'd have called you a liar. We never know what we're making 'til it's made... this time I'm a bit shocked."
The tracklisting is:
'Plaster Casts Of Everything'
'Houseclouds'
'Leather Prowler'
'Sailing To Byzantium'
'What Would They Know'
'Cycle Time'
'Freak Out'
'Pure Unevil'
'Clear Island'
'The Dumb In The Rain'
'Protection' |
Lupe Fiasco Forecasts 'Cool' For October
Rapper Lupe Fiasco will hit the studio this week to begin recording his sophomore album, "The Cool." The artist told Billboard.com backstage at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival over the weekend that he is hoping for an Oct. 31 release date for the album via 1st & 15th/Atlantic.
Reiterating his desire to round up members of Pink Floyd to make a guest appearance on the project, Fiasco conceded, "Nothing has developed yet. But once the stew gets swirling and people start talking, you never know. I hope it does work out."
"The Cool" will be the follow-up to last year's "Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor," which earned three Grammy nominations. Between studio sessions, Fiasco will break away for performances at Lollapalooza in Chicago in early August and the Bumbershoot festival in Seattle in early September.
He has also recently worked with Japanese rapper Big O on the track "City Wings," a remix of Musiq's "Buddy" and on a track from Atlantic labelmate Kevin Michaels' upcoming debut.
There's also a"top secret" project in the works with "another superstar rapper and someone who is a rapper/producer," but Fiasco declined to reveal details, including whether the pairing was for a full album or just a handful of songs. |
