Review by Adam Turner-Heffer

A much more free-form and experimental consideration of the sound Liars struck upon when creating TFCF»

Liars (Angus Andrew) with a 17-track release, Titles With The Word Fountain, the sequel to 2017’s acclaimed album, TFCF. Titles With The Word Fountain comes packaged with TFCF and is released on a very limited green vinyl edition, The release coincides with Liars’ first Australian tour since Angus Andrew relocated there two years ago. Titles With The Word Fountain was recorded during the same sessions as TFCF, but this isn’t a collection of leftover material or outtakes. Angus explains, “To me it’s more like a sequel. I chose the songs that appear on TFCF based on how well they addressed the trauma of a failed creative relationship, whereas the material on Titles With The Word Fountain is more playful despite revolving around the same sentiments.” TFCF was the first Liars release since an amicable departure by founding member Aaron Hemphill, Angus goes on to explain, “There was a lot of pressure in producing TFCF as it was guaranteed to be framed by the lack of band members. With Titles With The Word Fountain I felt stripped of that burden and more free to include work that could be construed as unclear or abstract.”
