With only a month to go until the release of Liars’ incredible Sisterworld album, Mute have unveiled the mysterious album artwork that the band had a great deal of trouble explaining to the Quietus when we talked to them recently.
The helpful diagram at the foot of this piece, and the picture of Angus Andrew having a go on his record, shows how the concertina sleeve to Sisterworld works. All hail the Compact Disc as artefact, not mere coaster.
