LIARS (Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross) release a new single, The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack, on 6th February 2006. The single precedes a brand new album, DRUM'S NOT DEAD, out on 20th February 2006.

The Other Side Of Mt. Heart Attack, one of the most beautiful songs Liars have ever recorded, is released on 7” and CD. The CD release features a brand new song, Do As The Birds, Digest The Remains alongside two versions of the title track and a Liars remix of Drum And The Uncomfortable Can. Each track is accompanied by a video directed by a member of the band (full tracklisting below…)

Drum's Not Dead, the band's third album and the follow up to 2004's They Were Wrong, So We Drowned was partly inspired by a relocation from New York to Berlin. It finds the band taking another seismic step forward, switching continents and seizing new musical territory. It's also their finest and fullest album to date, shredding all past reference points.

The vinyl and CD release of DRUM'S NOT DEAD comes loaded with its own cinematic sister project: a DVD with three film versions of the album, Drum's Not Bread (directed by Julian Gross), The Helix Aspersa (directed by Angus Andrew) and By Your Side (by award-winning filmmaker Markus Wambsganss). Each film comprises of videos for each of the tracks on the album: that's 36 videos in total. From backstage travelogues to surreal animation and mini sci-fi epics, Liars document the process of recording, touring, then visually reinventing each track. It's an ambitious and groundbreaking expansion of the album format, throwing down the gauntlet for other creatively ambitious bands to follow suit.

The album's title and several track names, including the new single, refer to two fictional characters: Drum and Mount Heart Attack. They are like Yin and Yang, each a state of being. Drum is assertive and productive, the spirit of creative confidence while Mount Heart Attack is the reaction to Drum's action, the embodiment of stress and self-doubt.
