Album Notes & Community Reviews

Pronounced "Wish You", this album finds art-punk chameleons Liars trading guitars for software and synthesizers. The result is a brooding, introspective record filled with glitchy textures and muted vocals. It is a fascinating, claustrophobic experiment in electronic isolation.
