Liars! All of Them!

The internet is an amazing confounding place. Somehow, albums get leaked weeks, even months before their acutal release date. Everyone knows this, but I've lately been surprised by some. The new Spoon album was out quickly, let alone the Art Brut album, but most of all was the most recent. The self-titled fourth album by Liars has leaked.
I was reading some blogs a couple days ago, and one of them mentioned that "Plaster Casts Of Everything", a new song by Liars, was being streamed on Pitchfork. Giggling with glee I bounded my way over to the Fork and had myself a nice listen. Wait a minute, did I just hear a guitar that sounds like, well, a guitar? But wait again, those vocals, the same falsetto vocals remain. Yet, now a more rock-based backround has come into the picture. How very interesting.
When I read about their new song, I was slightly worried, by the idea of this whole "rock-based" business. Well worry not, it is executed with such musical prescision! Furthermore, the album is more rock-based, and it is just as good as "Plaster Casts Of Everything". When this album comes out, I'll be there, waiting to get my paws on it. Expect a full review in the next couple months when Liars actually comes out. Hmm, how confounding.
