Following from The Best Music Videos of 2011, Christmas is All Around and Christmas Is All Around – The Mixtape (not end of the year lists, but something to check out..) posted a few days ago comes The Best Albums of 2011! 2011 was a great music year and resulted in some pretty good releases. So, to keep on making this intro short; [...]
The enduring legacy and massive appeal of Tim and Neil Finn (Crowded House) was celebrated with two smash hit albums; 2005's She Will Have Her Way, and 2010's He Will Have His Way . Now it's time for the boys and girls to play together on They Will Have Their Way : The Songs of Tim & Neil Finn National. Tour this November. Below a samlple of what's in store from Emma Louise and Lior:
Lior - '3-2-12 '3-2-1' is the last release from Lior, one of Australia's top independent artists. It marks the beginning of a new chapter as he steps out of Australia, with an album exclusive for European fans. The album is a collection of tracks taken from the three first releases from the past few years [...]
The lead single Golden Thread features Matt Corby on vocals via Fasterlouder.com.au Flight Of The Crow is the remarkable result of UK band, Passenger 's intrepid journey, with Australian artists Lior, Josh Pyke, Katie Noonan, Boy & Bear, Kate Miller Heidke, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Brian Campeau and Elana Stone, Matt Corby, Jess Chalker and Dead Letter Chorus all lending their voices to this serendipitous creative venture. Flight Of The Crow was recorded in Sydney's famous BJB studios over February and March of 2010, and [...]
I haven't had a lot of time lately to sift through all my new music downloads. It's annoying...
To most people , Lior emerged out of nowhere in 2005 and caused a stir with his debut album autumn flow . It became one of the most successful debut albums in australia's independent music history. To Lior , the accolades he has received are merely diversion and is really all about the music. In his labels words.. Lior is a reminder of a time when music came first and everything else was secondary. [...]
Australian singer/songwriter Lior has to make up his mind. Will he go for a rougher sound or stick to smoothness? His new album Corner Of An Endless Road got a sales boost when the single I'll Forget You made some inroads in the charts. Ironically this duet with Aussie singer Sia is the weakest track on the album. Songs like Burst Your Bubble , Sonja and Sleeping In The Rain deserve a bigger audience. Standout track is Jerusalem , his best try to channel Brian Wilson. [...]
Lior is a singer songwriter out of Australia that I had never heard of until a reader here on TWF emailed me. And that's a shame. His debut independent release smoked through Australia three years ago and Autumn Flow ( iTunes ) garnered him a total of three Aria Award nominations. Just to put that in perspective it would be similar to someone like Josh Ritter or Joseph Arthur being nominated in three different categories at the Grammys {akin to, say, how the Foo Fighters are typically nominated}. After opening with what was [...]
Hey, so as you may have gathered, the name of this blog has now changed to just Music Liberation . So if you have a blog and you link to this one, it would be cool if you could change the name. But this is not the only bit of news for the blog this week! Because with all going well, next Friday (29th February) will see the first ever Music Liberation Podcast ! The main focus of the podcast will be to feature some of the [...]
Listening : 1. C. Robin Madigan - You may be saying to yourself; "Self, is this item in the wrong section?". The answer is, no. It is true the Mr. Madigan is a published writer (" Tape Hiss "), and that he will receive his MFA in Writing in May. However, there is more to this Evanston resident then simply writing. On the song Don't Dream For Us , Conor sings and plays every instrument. It's lazy ride with a wise warning. Listen to : Don't Dream For Us ( mp3 ) 2. Loir [...]
CBC Radio 3 tracks down all the Canadian artists that will be at SXSW. More proof that 2008 Is The Year Of Canadian Music! Bag of Songs is full of a Valentine's Mix. Hi-Fi Heart has a Hi-Fi Heart V-Day Mix, also. Edie gets a heart sweater. MP3s I got yesterday that were GOOD: Lior ∞ I'll Forget You (featuring Sia) RIYL: An Australian Duncan Sheik Dueting With [...]

Some people go to extremes of volume, vision and hype to attract attention to themselves while others are happy to simply do what they do and rely on building a reputation by the responses of those around them. Such is the case with Sydney singer songwriter Lior . Lior's sound is a rootsy mix of styles that always harks back to the lyric and melody. In early 2005, Lior released his critically acclaimed debut album 'Autumn Flow'. The album was one of the year's most successful independent releases, and Lior has since become [...]
THESE ARE ALL GREAT SONGS THAT I THINK EVERYONE SHOULD HERE AND PLAY AT TOP VOLUME SO THEY CAN DANCE IN THE STREET AND SUCH Lior FakeDIY have links to sample Liors album. Its been around for years in Australia or the US as I've been really enjoying this track. In fact I listened to it before doing a General Studies AS Exam and got an A, so make your own minds up. He is also highly recommended by my new Australian art [...]
While I was in Australia, I picked up a couple albums that were exclusive to the Aussies and this was one of them. Like Volume One, this is put on by the amazing Triple J radio station and features mostly-acoustic cover versions of songs by a variety of artists. On this edition, there is alot more familiar indie rock names (Eels, Spoon, Tegan and Sarah, Mountain Goats) as well as 18 tracks from some of the best Australian Indies. If your a fan of covers (who isn't) then you'll want to pay the extra shipping fee to [...]
