Delaire The Liar New EP “SELF DEFENCE” out Today Via Rude Records & Release New Single “all your labour.”

Delaire The Liar have released their spectacular highly-anticipated EP “Self Defence” via Rude Records today. In celebration of the EP’s release, the band have shared a visualiser for their new track “all your labour.” - watch here.

Upon announcement of “SELF DEFENCE” EP, the band gave more context: “In the throes of desperation, there's no telling the lengths a person will go to preserve themselves or their loved ones. This EP presents a series of fictional scenarios to challenge the typical understanding of self defence. The usual themes surrounding the topic are present; antagonism, violence, action and reaction, but with a focus on the more drastic instances that require a less reflexive and more considered approach. Instances that require a deeper understanding of the self, emotional capacity for pain, physical capacity for punishment, moral detachment and sacrifice for the benefit of yourself or someone else. This EP explores whether there is any defence too drastic or too difficult to justify when love, pride and responsibility is involved.”

“SELF DEFENCE” is a superb return to form for Delaire The Liar. The newly-revitalised three-piece have created an emotionally rich and complexly layered body of work in an approach that is completely unique to Delaire The Liar. Boundary-pushing alt-rock trio will appear at Burn It Down Festival and Castlefest later this month.

Following their return to form with the acerbic “bite trap.” (which will appear on the upcoming EP) and subsequent notable live performances, Delaire The Liar have released “angel number.”, a layered and tender earworm (mixed again by Kel Pinchin of Modern Error and self-produced by Delaire The Liar) which sees bassist Em Lodge take up lead vocals while building to a fragile crescendo.

Speaking about “angel number.”, Delaire The Liar said “the pain carried from past relationships, the boundaries and hard lines we draw to protect ourselves from vulnerability can create a new potential. A potential of rationalising actions we would have otherwise never thought ourselves capable of. Cold, calculated, isolating, radical and dangerous behaviours that leave you ultimately, alone.”

"angel number.”' acknowledges the signs and disregards them. It's a lesson, hard learned, that sometimes the bravest way to defend yourself is to open the door and let love back in.”

'all your labour.' - bad decisions, misplaced trust, the fetid feeling of resentment boiling into a self righteous justification for violence & larceny. Capital crime, capital punishment, gun in hand and motive enough to cripple any moral standing. 'all your labour.' is desperation incarnate: a trapped animal, bleeding out options and armed to the teeth.

'forebodies.' - the idea of the self is fractured; the version of ourselves we choose to present can be affected instinctively by environment and social surroundings. What you hide and what you show to best serve yourself and how much control you really have over either, blacking out and letting some other part of you take the wheel (for better or for worse). 'forebodies.' explores what happens when the head eats the heart, to protect it from itself.
