Vinyl - Liars - They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top
Tracklist
"They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top" is the first instalment of the new Liars reissue series, where every two months an album from the back catalogue will be released on recycled coloured vinyl.
The campaign kicks off with Liars’ debut album, originally released in 2001 and recorded over two days in Brooklyn, New York with producer Steve Revitte (The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion & Beastie Boys). At the time of release Liars were Melbourne born Angus Andrew (vocals & pedals), Aaron Hemphill from LA (guitar & drum machine) and Nebraskians Pat Nature (bass & synthbox) and drummer Ron Albertson.
"There's an angular funk core to the tunes, built around insanely brilliant drumming… and they have the most poetic psychopunk song titles out there - the LP's called "They Threw Us All In A Trench And Stuck A Monument On Top". - NME
"It's vicious, but you can dance to it!". - Pitchfork
Mute was originally founded by Daniel Miller in 1978 with the release of his own 7″ – The Normal ‘TVOD’ / ‘Warm Leatherette’.
From there, Mute has grown from Miller’s one-man operation to a world renowned record label with offices in London and New York. Along with several label subsidiaries, including NovaMute, The Grey Area and Parallel Series, Mute also runs the publishing arm, Mute Song with Daniel Miller remaining heavily involved in Mute’s creative output.
