Charming Liars Release Single Ahead of Tour
Los Angeles-based rock act Charming Liars have unveiled their riff-driven transformative new single “Where I End & You Begin” ahead of their return to the UK to perform three headline shows in Glasgow, London and Manchester.
Kicking off with semi-distorted vocals and a foot-stomping intro, “Where I End & You Begin” is an undeniable reintroduction to the London-formed band. The self-produced track - mixed by Will Brierre and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Incubus, Edward Sharpe And The Magnetic Zeros)- features a melody with an energised and unrelenting hook, which paves the way for the band’s raw industrial rock leanings to reveal themselves in a swirling sonic landscape.
Speaking on the new track, Charming Liars says:
“WHERE I END & YOU BEGIN at its core is the sound of physical love inducing a state of disassociation. Its lyrics provide the perspective of drowning in an ocean of oneness while its aggressive synth heavy musical tones provide a soundscape resembling a growing storm”. They continue, “As a band, we’re very connected to sounds and vibes that surround the 80’s feel. Whilst in the creative process, we end up spending quite a lot of time exploring and trying different sonic landscapes. It’s a real source of inspiration and with this song, the tempo and feel of the verse really lead the way. The rest of the song wrote itself very quickly.”

About their upcoming dates, the band said
“We’re incredibly excited to perform our first shows in almost a year and to have them be in the UK. Even though we’re based in the US, it always feels like home to get back to England and play shows. It reminds us of our time performing up and down the country in our first bands when we were in secondary school. We’re performing in Glasgow, London and Manchester and we think that they’re the perfect locations to kick off 2024. Our last headline show in London sold-out so we’re itching to get on stage and do the same at Oslo on March 9th!”
Emerging from London's West End, Charming Liars' ascent to musical prominence began with guitarist Karnig Manoukian and bassist Mike Kruger. Their relocation to Los Angeles proved transformative, leading to the addition of vocalist Kiliyan Maguire and a creative explosion that birthed acclaimed releases like their debut album "Thought, Flesh and Bone" in 2019. Despite the hurdles of 2020, the band persevered, captivating global audiences with hit singles and earning accolades from NPR, Grammy.com, Alternative Press, idobi Radio and more.
In 2022, Charming Liars soared to new heights with the release of "TOURNIQUET," accompanied by an extensive tour that showcased their electrifying live performances. Along the way, they supported notable acts such as Angel & Airwaves, The Struts, Palaye Royale, and White Lies, solidifying their reputation as one of the most promising acts in alternative music. With their dynamic sound and unwavering determination, Charming Liars continue to captivate audiences worldwide, poised for even greater achievements on their remarkable journey.
