Liars<\/a> have been turning our heads for a long time, constantly taking exciting and unexpected turns from album to album. After re-emerging in 2017 as the solo project of singer and guitarist Angus Andrew, Liars released two albums since and there’s no sign of slowing down with the 10th record just announced this week. Entitled The Apple Drop<\/em>, the album is a collaborative affair that saw him working with longtime favourite drummer Laurence Pike, multi-instrumentalist Cameron Deyell and lyricist Mary Pearson Andrew. \u201cMy goal was to create beyond my abilities – something bigger than myself”, commented Angus. \u201cFor the first time I embraced collaboration from an early stage, allowing the work of others to influence the work of my own.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking about the themes that sparked the album, Angus stated that \u201cmomentum 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.\u201d He adds:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOn each project I\u2019ve 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\u2019m increasingly realising my trajectory is more akin to a spiral. As new ideas are generated, older ones take on new meaning and evolve further.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Apple Drop<\/em> is set for release on August 6th through Mute<\/a> and along with the announcement, Liars have shared the first single ‘Sekwar’. The track come paired with a video directed by Clemens Habicht. Watch it below.<\/p>\n
