Liars will release their fifth studio album, Sisterworld, in early 2010.

The disc is the follow up to their 2007 self-titled release. Sisterworld marks a return to Los Angeles for the band, who haven't recorded an album entirely in the United States since 2004's They Were Wrong, So We Drowned. The band worked with Tom Biller (Kanye West, Beck) on the new album, and used strange characters and subcultures in Los Angeles life as inspiration.

"We're interested in the alternate spaces people create in order to maintain identity in a city like L.A. Environments where outcasts and loners celebrate a skewered relationship to society," the band said in a statement.

The creation of Sisterworld is seen as the band's own space, "devoid of influence, somewhere remote from the false promises and discarded dreams amassed in L.A. In it Liars explore the underground support systems created to deal with loss of self to society."

Liars' new website for the album doesn't really have anything to do with this, unless you consider hermit crabs a Los Angeles subculture, but it's kind of neat to look at regardless.

No definite release date has been set for Sisterworld yet.
