Liars Get to Work on Next Album
"Get ready for our new record, rub your palms, download some porn, light a candle, cause we, are like a train, out of control, with no brakes."
Liars' Julian Gross took to the band's MySpace blog yesterday with ramblings on topics ranging from espresso and fried chicken to his recent cover design work and the recording of the follow-up to Drum's Not Dead.
That's right, Gross and Aaron Hemphill recently traveled to Berlin to record with frontman Angus Andrew for three weeks, though that's about all the info he gave. He did, however, write that the new tracks have "a chilled out vibe." No title, release date, or tracklist yet, but considering how quickly Liars are getting back into it, we're hardly complaining.
Gross also recently designed artwork for the Blood Brothers and Sean Na Na. The Blood Brothers artwork, which Gross says is "kinda childlike and cute and lovelorn," is for their new tour poster and the "Set Fire to the Face on Fire" and "Laser Life" singles. There are no specifics about what exactly he designed for Sean Na Na, but the band's label, Dim Mak, does have some shirts for sale with his designs.
Gross ended the post with a particularly inspiring parting word: "Get ready for our new record, rub your palms, download some porn, light a candle, cause we, are like a train, out of control, with no brakes."
Thanks to reader Matthew Krenning for the tip. The full text of Gross' fairly entertaining post appears below in unedited form. A short follow-up post explains that Andrew is taking antibiotics for a pretty heavy illness. Get well soon, Angus!
"let your shoulder lean
back on the blog.
so new news would be Aaron and I just got back from Berlin. we spent about 3 weeks there recording our new record. yes, you heard correct. are you running around in circles now, screaming out the window, making us fried chicken with collard greens and then sending it to us over night so the chicken stays crunchy in gratitude for us gettin down to business? well you should. or not i guess. isn't it illegal to send fried chicken?
but in anycase, we layed down some tracks with a chilled out vibe. then angus got sick, and me and aaron went back to LA and didn;t get sick. (see angus, it's all in your head.) i mean me and angus shared a bong the whole time, thats like seriously making out for a month, always having each others tounges in each others mouth. yet i am fit as a fiddle, strong as an ox, chubby like manatee yet sexy like a horse.
how about those pictures of the tiger and the orangatan? so cute right?
ok what else? i been doing some more design work for the blood brothers. go buy their records. i did 'set fire...' single, the new tour poster and will be sending the art off for 'laser life' tomorrow. i tried making both singles kinda cohesive (sp?). but not sure if i am losing my edge. or just becoming kinda soft in my old age. both the single and the poster (which i like) are not super 'tuff'. they are kinda childlike and cute and lovelorn . well i hope they like the new one. they put this trust in me to just do it and turn it in, no like sending it to them and getting the o.k first. which i was thinking about. that is kinda crazy. i love those guys (really, like family.) and I dont want to dissapoint. they put a lot of trust in me. isn;t that nice? so go see them play in your city. if you haven;t already had the pleasure of seeing them live.
i also just did the design for Har Mar Superstars new/old band Sean Na Na. have to say i was kinda proud of this design. go peep it. on Dim Mak (which i did some shirts for. go buy them also.)
this is long. i havent eatin' anything yet today. just a nice cappucino from our amazing espresso machine that Pats (rad) dad got him. your worried about our grind you say? don't be, we have our own super grinder. tamp the grounds in the basket at 30 pounds of pressure. should take 6 seconds before the shot comes out in a steady, but kinda studdered flow. let flow for no longer than 12 seconds. and then yum.
so i go now. get ready for our new record, rub your palms, download some porn, light a candle, cause we, are like a train, out of control, with no brakes."
