Music Video: Liars - Scissor

(Experimental Rock)

This is the first I've heard of the band, Liars, to be quite honest, but this song caught me by surprise. It possesses such power with it's slow melody. Honestly, though, I have no idea what this song OR video has to do with scissors. It begins with the three New Yorker band members chiming in a synchronous humming that sets the mood as a slower, subtler, soothing song, in which you can truly ease upon your troubled mind. And then it literally jumps out at you at around 2:11 into a fast-paced jam.

The video alone is quite epic, itself. It follows a man floating on a raft, lost at sea. He wakes to find a stone sitting menacingly across from him, and makes to throw it off the raft, but to his dismay he finds that after he throws that one ten more appear, and so on. Take a look.

The single, Scissor, is set to be released on March 9th on Sisterworld, the band's fifth studio album.
