Watch: Liars - ‘No. 1 Against The Rush’

Liars have unveiled the new video for the first single to come from their latest album.

Speaking to The Quietus, Liars’ Aaron Hemphill explained how the video concept came around: ‘When we approached the director we wanted to give him full control and just see what his response was to the song. He developed it entirely, it had nothing to do with us. At the time we make the record usually nobody has heard the record, so it’s a really good chance to get a visual on what these people think, or how they interpret the song.’

‘I think it was the enthusiasm that he had for the track. What he was trying to set out to do with the video was really exciting to us. He was trying to see the city in different ways, and I thought that was great. I think how we see the city and how we interact with our surroundings is very different from when we made ‘Sisterworld’.’

‘WIXIW’ is the follow-up to 2010’s ‘Sisterworld’ is due on 4th June and was reportedly written in ‘an isolated cabin in the mountains,’ and recorded in LA.
