Angus Andrew’s Liars declares album, Share new song ‘Sekwar’

Angus Andrew’s Liars have declared their 10th album. It’s known as The Apple Drop. The development to 2018’s Titles With the Word Fountain is out August 6 through Mute. Yesterday (May 5), Liars have shared “Sekwar,” along 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 Andrew said in an official statement. “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, Andrew 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,” he said. “My goal was to create beyond my abilities—something bigger than myself.”

Andrew added, “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.”
