 ‘WIXIW’ is the next album to be released in the Liars’ recycled coloured vinyl reissue series.
 Initially released in 2012, ‘WIXIW’ was Liars’ sixth full-length album as a band (Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross). Includes the hit ‘No.1 Against the Rush’, with the emotional video by Todd Cole.
 ‘WIXIW’ somehow provided a summation of Liars’ work preceding the record, whilst also providing a complete break from anything that had been heard from the band. Recorded in LA, the album was self-produced by the band, with additional production from Mute’s Daniel Miller and mixing by Tom Biller. It illustrated an ambiguous, fragile in-between state for Liars, being considered as both their most accessible and most challenging album.
 “Really, it’s just fantastic. Blinding. A blinding record from a band who surprise so often it’s pretty much unsurprising.” - The Line of Best (9/10)
 “... Liars’ dark, largely electronic and sample-based latest album is a return to their adventurous, experimental roots. It's also the group's most human and fragile album to date.” - Pitchfork (7.8/10)
 “LA’s supreme rule-breakers have unleashed the unnerving sounds of their lost inner world” - NME (4/5) 
 The recycled vinyl series so far has seen Liars’ 2001 debut, ‘They Threw Us All in a Trench and Stuck a Monument on Top’; their concept album about witchcraft on The Brocken mountains, ‘They Were Wrong, So We Drowned’ (2004), 2006’s acclaimed follow up, ‘Drum’s Not Dead’, 2007’s LA-recorded self-titled fourth album, ‘Liars’, and 2010’s ‘Sisterworld’.
 Environmentally packaged and pressed on recycled coloured vinyl. Each pressing is uniquely coloured due to the process.
