New York City rockers Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club bring their stirring energy to the stage this Saturday, June 11 at Mercury Lounge to celebrate the release of their new eponymous record.
Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club drops as the band’s third studio release and comes five years after their last effort, Faithful. The album touches on Cubeta’s emotionally direct lyrical quality in tracks like “All We Are” and “Approach,” while also allowing the band to stretch out to darker, heavier tones. “Truth Be Told” typifies the band’s vulnerable sensibility, but is driven by grittier sounds. The band also experiments in psychedelic territory with “I’m Sorry,” beautifully blending the cut’s hovering tone with tambourine and echoing vocals.
Chris Cubeta recorded the LP at his own studio in Brooklyn, and CCLC reflects excellent production work, oscillating from more personal songs to those featuring louder interludes of Cubeta jamming with bandmates Jeff Berner and John Passineau. Cubeta also recently recorded another NYC band, Wakey! Wakey! .
Chris Cubeta and The Liars Club plays this Saturday after a string of several fine years punctuated by dates at The Bowery Ballroom and a sold-out Mercury Lounge. The band also performs at Littlefield in Brooklyn on July 16 and plans to tour Germany this fall.
