Liars - Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross - have announced details of their brand new single, 'Brats' which is set for release on 12" and download on 15th October, via Mute. One of the stand-out tracks from recent live shows, 'Brats' is the latest track to be taken from Liars' current album 'WIXIW' which is out now.
The eerie, motion capture animation video for 'Brats' is available to watch below. The video was directed by the artist Ian Cheng, who explains: “For 'Brats', I used a familiar animated narrative - hapless hunter vs. terroristic rabbit - as a format to grow a garden of signature motions. This collection of motions becomes material to recompose a new non-narrative choreography that animates the bodies of Liars. The 'Brats' video documents this entropic haunting - from the ingredients of familiar meaning arises the terror of reckless non-meaning.”
Angus Andrew continues, “I'm intrigued by Ian Cheng's ability to re-imagine computer graphics that are as awkward and out of control as real life. It’s unusual to see computer-animated, digital bodies with flaws that breathe, pulse, and bear traces of their imperfect analog origin and I'm honored that we could provide the inspiration for this very unique vision.”
Liars will tour the UK this October, with support from The Haxan Cloak. The forthcoming tour includes a date at London's Scala on 16th October.
