London-based experimental/minimalist project, The Lies And How We Told Them is ‘Kooky German’ Robert Raths, who is so dedicated to the cause that he has replaced his head with a functional tv set on stage. It seems the only way to get our attention nowadays; outside of our homes. „As we follow the one who sparkles the most, we are nothing but moths turning to ghosts... go! go! ghosts!“
'There's a real "pumping-finger-in-the-air" element to this band ala Arcade Fire and Hope of the States. In this day and age, it's almost impossible to find that comfortable medium of enough pop for uncultured music listeners, while still holding on to some artistic originality.' – N/A Reviews (USA)
'An up and coming British band. With a sound that echoes Radiohead, Sigur Rós, Jeff Buckley and a bit of Arcade Fire, the band surge with emotional energy. With characteristic vocals and a wonderfully lush production this band will definitely be one to watch in the coming months.' - Rough Trade
'Whilst hanging precariously off a cliff by a line of thread, The Lies And How We Told Them delicately catch a breeze that carries them away with their emotive pop songs that adopt a tone similar to Engineers, Verve and Buckley.'
- 93 Records
‘The Lies' aren't your live energetic band with high jumps and head shakes, they are a band that make you stand with your mouths slightly akimbo with small amounts of drool seeping into the corners. They make your head spin with vocals and ambient guitars that make you fly to the moon and back, in time to catch the songs sudden lift off, into a more powerful stance.’ – First Live Music Magazine
The 7-track EP "Signpost" is available at all good record shops.
