Liars announce new album ‘A Ban On Plastic Bag Bans’, out 5 March 2027 on Mute

Liars, now Angus Andrew’s solo project, will release their album A Ban On Plastic Bag Bans on 5 March 2027 via Mute Records. The first single, Ice Pick, Kalamazoo, draws from Andrew’s experience moving to Michigan, where he encountered industrial pollution from a packaging factory and became involved in environmental activism. The album’s title references an actual state statute prohibiting local plastic bag bans, serving as a metaphor for how environmental resistance becomes exhausted against institutional inertia. Recorded across the US and Australia with drummer Laurence Pike and multi-instrumentalist Cameron Deyell, the album was developed through improvisation rather than demos. Andrew describes it as a political record emphasizing the psychological toll of sustained activism. The release accompanies UK and European tour dates in October, plus a Drums Not Dead 20th-anniversary performance at Unsound Festival.
