Liars Drop New Video
The naked body is said to be a beautiful thing, but this seems far from true when bellicose NYC band Liars are interpreting the human form. BrooklynVegan pointed us to the scraggly punk trio’s new, dark video for “Plaster Casts of Everything,” off their upcoming eponymous fourth album, on which nudes are superimposed on top of each other. They look de-gendered and dreadful, with double chins and droopy anatomical parts helping to make the whole clip cringe-worthy. And when a furiously bright headlight spews forth from the car-driving protagonist’s mouth, illuminating from inside his ride disembodied visages or maniacally dancing people, we can’t help but wonder what the band’s new tracks, like “Leather Prowler” or “Freak Out,” will look like after given video treatment.
Liars’ truth can be heard when Mute releases their self-titled album Aug. 28.
