Delaire The Liar are back with a new piece of dramatic British post-everything genius. “bite trap.” is its name, and it serves as the first music from the band since the release of their 2021 EP EAT YOUR OWN.
Bringing together all of the most extravagant parts of the band’s sound and forcing them through an unrelenting and unique mesh, the result is a song that ebbs and flows between crushing beauty and harsh theatre.
The band had this to say about how they created it:
“We explored a style of writing with ‘bite trap.’ that was a little out of the ordinary for us. Whilst staying true to our tastes, we relied on our gut & immediate feeling to guide the make-up of the song and didn’t allow ourselves the space to overthink and over-complicate the process. If it sucked,it went; if it fucked, it stayed.
“The song itself is written conceptually rather than drawing on personal & emotional experience. The narrative explores how people defend themselves and the ones they care about, and how those responses can be misjudged, irrational and charged even with the best intentions at heart.”
Delaire The Liar will also be playing a series of shows in the UK this Summer. They look like this:
- April 26–London, UK @ Boston Music Room
- April 27–Manchester, UK @ Satan’s Hollow
- April 28–Glasgow, UK @ The Garage Attic
- July 5-8–Cheltenham, UK @ 2000trees Festival
