WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?
A lot of people have slept on the dark experimental-rock sounds of the Liars. Sisterworld, the bands newest album, was just awarded “best new music” on Pitchfork for their third time in a row… that’s called legit. A definition of respect could be having such names as TV on the Radio, Devendra Banhart, Blonde Redhead and the almighty Thom Yorke appearing on a remixes/covers album accompanying your new release.
On Thom Yorke’s interpretation of the Liars Proud Evolution, he surrounds lead singer Angus Andrew’s vocals in a battle of electronic programming. The track starts out with a basic loop, then comes Andrew’s vocals that evoke a deep isolation and soon Yorke adds a simple but satisfying cord progression and allows for the programming to take you on a trip of its own. Yorke’s ability to focus in on the most important aspects of a track, in this case Andrew’s vocals and Yorke’s chord progression, and keep it simple while then building electronic storms around that to drive the track into new territories is part of his genius. It might not seem like much, but it’s simple and complicated at the same time and that’s not an easy feat to accomplish.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
