Delaire The Liar – Eat Your Own | EP Review

There is a distinct eccentricity, almost bordering haunting that surrounds Delaire The Liar.

Whether you’ve encountered their explosive live show or stumbled across a record, there is no denying that there is something incredibly unique to their sonic approach. Having graced stages at some of the best UK festivals including Burn It Down and 2000 Trees, anyone set to catch the band in any kind of intimate setting needs to be prepared for nothing less than the time of their lives. Eat Your Own opens a whole new door in the band’s next chapter.

Pioneers of the unorthodox, it’s been an incredible year for the London four piece. When the band first teased fans that new music was well underway, no one could have predicted the magnitude of the six track monstrosity that exploded into life last week. Over the course of the entire release campaign Delaire The Liar have been incredibly consistent, with each single packing more of a punk rock punch than the last. ‘Furnace’ came in as the slightly younger sibling as the second single to drop, and takes pride of place as the second track on the record. A canvas of different textures throughout, the call & response style vocals give the track a pleasant edge.

‘No Accident’ is the first time the record really pauses for breath – and it makes a beautiful entrance. A delicate ballad that ultimately climbs into a powerful crescendo – the lyrical content is as up front and raw as an open wound. It’s the intense vocal style and intricate narratives that really make Delaire The Liar stand out from the pack, and ‘No Accident’ is a crucial example. This whole record is a shining example of intelligent song-writing, leaving listeners asking for more.

Anyone who considers themselves a soundwave connoisseur, or alternatively just has a love for top quality musicianship needs to dedicate as much time as possible to this record. Delair The Liar are about to take the world by storm, and you would be a fool to miss out.
