Liars joined Beck, Annie Clark and Daniel Hart from St Vincent, Sergio Dias from legendary Brazilian band Os Mutantes and Brian Lebarton for Beck's Record Club 4, covering the 1987 album, Kick by INXS.

Beck's Record Club is an "informal meeting of various musicians to record an album in a day". The results are posted, track by track at www.beck.com/recordclub.

Angus, talking about Beck's Record Club said, "Iit is a rare opportunity for completely selfless collaboration and an extremely interesting and unique project that was an absolute pleasure to participate in."

Says Beck, "It was recorded in a little over 12 hours on March 3rd, 2010. It was an intense, hilarious, daunting and completely fun undertaking. Thanks to everybody for being there and putting so much into it. Many classic moments, inspired performances and occasional anarchy."

Liars release a brand new single, The Overachievers, on 24th May, coinciding with a series of UK dates that includes Shepherd's Bush Empire on 27th May.

Backed with two brand new tracks, Pleasure Is Boss and Only Sometimes plus Devendra Banhart and The Grogs's reinterpretation of the single, The Overachievers is taken from Sisterworld, the band's critically acclaimed fifth album. NME said "...this incredible album is your passport to a better place" and Uncut described it as "impressive... focused and relevant."

Sisterworld is out now on CD, 2CD version with very special packaging and on a deluxe vinyl edition double 180gram heavy vinyl and CD with two booklets.

The second disc of the 2CD release sees each track on Sisterworld remixed and reinterpreted by a host of artists including Thom Yorke, Atlas Sound, Blonde Redhead, Fol Chen and Alan Vega while the unique packaging, designed by Brian Roettinger / Hand Held Heart (Grammy nominated and Rolling Stone award winning for his work with No Age) allows a surreal glimpse into the Sisterworld concertina.

He leaves behind a vast musical legacy, which we are proud to have been a part of, but right now our thoughts are with his family and many friends throughout the world.

Nick Cave said: "This is very sad news. Rowland was Australia's most unique, gifted and uncompromising guitarist. He was also a good friend. He will be missed by many."
