Liars to Drop Demos for Free

 

Though there's no donation box on hand, and a major label is in the mix, it appears Radiohead's landmark digital release of In Rainbows has started a trend. And in addition to these guys, New York-based trio Liars have caught on, opting to release a collection of tunes for free via their label's website, mute.biz/liars. The free release, entitled Liars Sessions, an EP compiling outtakes and demo versions of tunes featured on the band's self-titled sophomore LP out now, is available now for the small price of a few personal details.

Liars Sessions tracklisting:

1. "Cycle Time" (Demo)
2. "House Clouds" (Demo)
3. "Pure Unevil" (Demo)
4. "Plaster Casts of Everything" (Demo)

 


 

 

Radiohead Artist Donwood Discusses Ditched 'In Rainbows' Cover Art

 

While hordes of creative Radiohead fans across the web render their own In Rainbows cover art, Stanley Donwood, Radiohead's steadfast artistic collaborator behind most of the band's album covers, discussed scrapping his work for In Rainbows in a BBC Radio 4 interview yesterday, Gigwise.com reports. "It was a last minute decision, it was all ready to go but ended up being left on the laptop," Donwood said. "What did you miss out on? Well, it's very colorful - I've finally embraced color! It's a rainbow but it is very toxic, it's more like the sort of one you'd see in a puddle."

While you mentally conjure hue-drenched images of transcending beauty, Donwood, despite being a close pal and former schoolmate of frontman Thom Yorke, didn't pay a dime for the new album, which was released digitally in an experimental donation system. "…I was just checking the website was working," said Donwood. "If you paid nothing the screen flashed up 'we value your custom, you're in a queue', whereas if you paid for it you went straight to the download code, just a bit of irony that no one got as normal."
