Radiohead's Thom Yorke For New Liars Album

January 7, 2010
Radiohead's Thom Yorke For New Liars AlbumThom Yorke and TV on the Radio's Tunde Adepimbe are two of the big names contributing remixes and reinterpretations to the expanded edition of Liars' new record 'Sisterworld'.

The New Yorker release their fifth studio album on March 8th and were keen to get high-profile artists involved on the second CD.

Singer Angus Andrew said: “On this project we wanted to help develop and expand the role of the remix, particularly to engage artists less acknowledged for their work in the field.

“They were asked to 're-interpret' the song by any means necessary and the result is definitely the most exciting collaborative effort we've been involved in.”

Also contributing to disc two are Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound fame, Melvins, Suicide's Alan Vega, Chris & Cosey from Throbbing Gristle and Blonde Redhead.

The track-listing of the 'Sisterworld' (disc one) is as follows:

  1. Scissor
  2. No Barrier Fun
  3. Here Comes All The People
  4. Drip
  5. Scarecrows On A Killer Slant
  6. I Still Can See An Outside World
  7. Proud Evolution
  8. Drop Dead
  9. The Overachievers
  10. Goodnight Everything
  11. Too Much, Too Much
