Liars

Fins To Make Us More Fish Like

Label: Mute Release Date: 04/11/2002

2634
afrankowski by Andy Frankowski October 30th, 2002

If you ever wondered what a train wreck sounded like, the Liars' ’Fins To Make Us More Fish Like’ would be a pretty close guess. Beeps and bleeps share a seat with high-pitched guitars as normal song structure flies right off the tracks. Disorientated with inverted melodies in your head you dust the dirt and debris off, never has a migraine felt so good. Someone begins to shout at you, the words stinging like hot steam, yet their message remains unclear. You clench your ticket tightly as this was a trip to remember. With its Zen-like chimes hidden within an accident scene never have you been through something that challenged you at every turn. A trip you would gladly take again even though you know they probably lost your luggage.
