1/1 : original soundtrack to the film

"The new Liars record 1/1 is also the soundtrack to an arthouse-ish film of the same name, which apparently submerges the viewer into the mind of Lissa, a 20-year-old girl in rural Pennsylvania and her struggles with sex, drugs, love and loss'. It's out now, and appears to have attracted impressively little attention, so perhaps it's easier for all to not worry too much about this context and just be happy that we have a new Liars album ... It's the band's most electronic record, and if the dubstep thing is a slightly distracting way of describing it, maybe it's easier to think of it as an exquisite little self-penned DJ set, moving from glowering murk to eventual, pulsing, almost-euphoria".

"They made 1/1 not long after drummer Julian Gross left, and Aaron Hemphill would depart in 2016, leaving Andrew the project's sole member. In hindsight, it's possible to hear some of the profound loneliness of Liars' next album TFCF and the disorienting washes of Hemphill's subsequent work as Nonpareils in this score, and for that reason alone, 1/1 is more than just a commissioned work -- as much as one release from this band could, it sums up their approach and points the way forward".
