Liars - They Were Wrong So We Drowned

Liars is three-piece post-punk/experimental/mental in general group from New York. Their musical stylings tend to vary a bit from album to album, but all seem to place a lot of importance on rhythm, which is nice. Fun to get caught in the grooves while relaxing around the house, or maybe in RT chat. lol
Anyway, the Liars album TWWSWD is my favorite album from the band (most of the time), although I don't think it's ever been quite as popular as say Drums Not Dead*, even though both albums are definitely removed from the dance-punk scene and have a more experimental, uninviting (at first) sound. More electronic in nature and heavily focused on repetitive drum patterns that keep you drwan in where as the electronic sounds tend to vary. At times a bit abrasive, it's nothing that'll give you tinnitus. No worries, you see?
TWWSWD is also a concept album of sorts, mostly concerning itself with witchcraft and what not. Spooky, I know.
Give the guys a shot if you aren't already familiar, and I must say that their live show is extremely entertaining, if a not a little unsettling.
* I know some of you guys like TWWSWD and Liars in general, maybe you could share a few thoughts.
