Silver Liz’s third album appropriate titled III comes out January 30, 2026 (very limited edition vinyl, digital download and streaming) and its string of singles so far point toward an entrancing and genre-blurring listen. “Trixie’s Crying” has a melodic bass line akin to something from The Cure but forward is a panoply of bright tones, shimmering and warping guitar washes and Carrie Wagner’s vocals processed slightly to enhance an ethereal and effervescent quality to suit a song about someone trying her best to help a friend struggling with whatever existential and persistent emotional woes that plague her. The music video with the flickering, almost stop-motion 16-bit visuals of a cat frolicking behind the lyrics captures the affectionate, playful and uplifting mood of the song. Stylistically it traverses trip-hop, dream pop and glitch and for those tuned in might hit a little like later era Curve with a touch of Cocteau Twins circa Heaven or Las Vegas.
