\nInfo
\nIn 2005 Ren\xe9e, Naemi and Teresa started playing together as Liechtenstein. Influenced by British 80s bands like Talulah Gosh, Dolly Mixture, Mo-Dettes, Girls At Our Best and Shop Assistants, they released their debut 7\u201d single \u201cStalking Skills\u201d on Fraction Discs in 2007. The title track made quite a buzz in the indiepop world and a frequent gigging around in Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Germany and United Kingdom followed. Around that time Elin joined the band on drums. In the summer of 2008 second guitarist and vocalist Teresa left the band and the others continued as a three piece.
\nIn the autumn 2008 Fraction Discs released their second 7\u201d single \u201cApathy\u201d, and a video was made for the flipside \u201cSecurity By Design\u201d. \u201cApathy\u201d showed a new diversity with its gorgeous vocal harmonies over soft pop melodies. It sounds all cosy, yet this is an angry protest songs. It\u2019s songs like these that have gained Liechtenstein a true fan base, bringing back that heavenly pop sound from back then \u2026and at the same time commenting upon the very time we\u2019re living in.
\nA third single was released in February 2009, this time a three track CDR on Drill Building. Starting rapidly, paying a musical tribute to Talulah Gosh, over a shoegazey dystopia to a 48 second post punk song, you start to get the idea of a Liechtenstein album: filled with Pop melodies, elegantly arranged vocal harmonies \u2013 and a bundle of short story observations.
\nIn May 2009 their album "Survival Strategies In A Modern World" was released on Fraction Discs and Slumberland (US) on CD and 10".\xa0\xa0
