Liquid Mike Announce New Album Hell Is an Airport, Share “Groucho Marx” and “Selling Swords”: Stream

Liquid Mike have announced their new album, Hell Is an Airport. The sixth studio effort is out in full on September 12th, but you can hear the lead singles, “Groucho Marx” and “Selling Swords,” below.

Vocalist and guitarist Mike Maple revealed that the album’s title originated from the idea of airports as liminal spaces. “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,” he said in a press statement. “Airports are stressful and congested and bureaucratic and never sleep; I imagine hell operates very much like an airport.”
