Liars – They Were Wrong, So We Drowned

They Were Wrong, So We Drowned, released in 2004, is the second album by Liars and marks a dramatic departure from their earlier work, diving headfirst into experimental noise, dissonance, and dark European folklore.

Drawing inspiration from witchcraft legends and tales of persecution in medieval Germany, the record abandons traditional song structures in favour of chaotic, atmospheric, and ritualistic soundscapes. The result is a dense, unsettling, and purposefully confrontational album that polarized listeners at the time but has since gained cult status within early-2000s experimental rock. This special edition on recycled coloured vinyl not only revitalizes the physical format but also reflects the band’s subversive ethos and environmentally conscious spirit. A must-have for those drawn to boundary-pushing sonic art.
