The Bunny The Bear: A Liar Wrote This

I suggested that TBTB's last album The Food Chain was, "unfocussed, but full of ideas". Since then they have produced an acoustic EP which I described as, "Probably one for fans but perfectly passable fare. " So what of A Liar Wrote This? Main Bunny Matthew Tybor has been quoted as saying, "To put it simply, we are weird. If I had to describe it? Heavy, electronic and experimental. I write whatever the F&*$ I want. There's a bit of everything."

Indeed there is especially given the recruitment of female vocalist Haley Roback, the newest Bear and Rochester, NY native and she's replaced the Bear himself Chris Hutka and this has changed the band's sound somewhat. A Liar Wrote This is more mainstream than the preceding albums and tunes such as the new more laid back version of "It's Not Always Cold in Buffalo" even sounds radio friendly compared to the more stark "Sleep Sequence". "Somewhat Standards" and the punky "Loose Lips" keep the listener engaged towards the end of the album which, as a whole is less dancey than The Food Chain but is equally as intriguing if a little like a totally different band which, to be fair, it kind of is.
