The Liars' career has ventured into every genre precisely to avoid being pigeonholed: brittle yet erudite punk-funk, marginal no-wave, ecstatic noise-pop, 21st-century garage rock, post-millennial post-rock, delicate electro... On this seventh album, the self-analytical and introspective aspect has given way to an exuberant immediacy. While WIXIW reflected a band in a somewhat altered, fragile, and ambiguous state, Mess is an album where the Liars speak from their gut – a kind of primal, enraged, and delirious electronic explosion that sacrifices self-persecution for the benefit of powerful and salutary abandon.
