Aug 29, 2018 By Christopher Roberts Liars

Liars (the project of Angus Andrew) released their last album, TFCF, in August 2017 via Mute. Now they have announced a sequel album, Titles With The Word Fountain, and shared its first single, “Murdrum.” Titles With The Word Fountain is due out digitally and on cassette September 21 via Mute (and on vinyl November 2). Check out “Murdrum” below, followed by the album’s tracklist and cover art, as well as Liars’ upcoming tour dates.

While Titles With The Word Fountain was recorded at the same time as TFCF, Andrew doesn’t regard it as a collection of left over material or outtakes. “To me it’s more like a sequel,” he says in a press release. “I chose the songs that appear on TFCF based on how well they addressed the trauma of a failed creative relationship, whereas the material on Titles With The Word Fountain is more playful despite revolving around the same sentiments.”

TFCF was the first Liars release recorded just by Andrew and without founding member Aaron Hemphill. “There was a lot of pressure in producing TFCF as it was guaranteed to be framed by the lack of band members,” Andrew comments in the press release. “With Titles With The Word Fountain I felt stripped of that burden and more free to include work that could be construed as unclear or abstract.”

Earlier this year Mute released 1/1, Liars’ first soundtrack, which was actually recorded when Hemphill was still in the band.
