Sisterworld is the fifth studio album by experimental rock trio Liars, released on March 9, 2010. The album was written and recorded in Los Angeles with assistance from Tom Biller.[13] In early November, a link was posted on their official Mypace page directing users to www.thesisterworld.com,[14] where "Scissor", the premiere track from Sisterworld was made available for free download and streaming.[15] An expanded version of the album is being released with a bonus remix disc featuring remixes from Radiohead's Thom Yorke, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe, Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino, Deerhunter's Bradford Cox, Melvins and others.[16] The music video for "Scissor", directed by Andy Bruntel, won the Best Music Video award at the Vimeo Festival + Awards 2011. In October 2011, NME placed "Scarecrows on a Killer Slant" at number 68 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[17]
