It’s been less than a year since Austin “psychedelic jungle rock” trio Migrant Kids released We All Forget, and whether that title was merely fortuitous or intentionally foreboding, it’s become oddly prophetic. That’s because the three-piece has since emigrated from their former handle and taken a hairpin turn towards a completely different style under the name Lies Lies.
For their upcoming self-titled debut, Lies Lies called upon Grammy winner Paul Kolderie – who’s produced and mixed for the likes of Radiohead, Pixies, Hole, and The Cure – to help flesh out the group’s newfound ’90s grunge sound over ten original tracks, capturing the same authentic feel from that decade while incorporating previously-unheard tones fit for a drugged-up futuristic dystopia. Lies Lies is out January 31st and to help you channel your inner angsty millennial nostalgia, cut your jeans and scrape your knees on its lead single – “’90s Kid”!
