Alan Vega and Martin Rev, aka dark lo-fi electro-duo Suicide, were amazing in their heyday, especially when you consider they formed in 1971, pre-dating and influencing a shit-load of post-punk, noise, no wave, synth-pop, and industrial acts that followed. (If... CONTINUE READING SPRINGSTEEN, LIARS, SPIRITUALIZED, GRINDERMAN, AND OTHERS COVER SUICIDE»

The driver-side projections and vehicular flicker of "Plaster Casts Of Everything"'s video were intense, so nice to chase the car ride with mellower fare like the Sonny Gerasimowicz-directed "Houseclouds," a cuddly video for another standout from Liars supremely claustro, Kraut-y,...

Unlike Liars' last two albums, this new self-titled collection drops an overriding concept, unless it's love, youth, the ocean, and summertime nostalgia. More immediate and emotionally raw than past work, Liars' trim, submerged, clattering tracks aren't Drum's Not Dead epic... CONTINUE READING PREMATURE EVALUATION: LIARS - LIARS»
