Liquid Mike Announce New Album Hell Is An Airport: Hear “Groucho Marx” & “Selling Swords”

Last year, our Band To Watch Liquid Mike earned the honor of Album Of The Week with Paul Bunyan’s Slingshot. Today, the power-pop crew is announcing its follow-up, Hell Is An Airport, and sharing two tracks.

"Groucho Marx" and "Selling Swords" are out now, and Hell Is An Airport includes the previously released "Crop Circles." There's notably a song called "Liam Gallagher" but we don't get to hear that one yet. About the LP, Mike Maple said:

Airports are these weird, intermediary spaces that have always made me feel like I'm stuck in limbo. This album deals a lot with themes surrounding feeling stuck and unable to crawl out. Airports are stressful and congested and bureaucratic and never sleep; I imagine hell operates very much like an airport.
