Following the success of their debut single ‘Infatuation’, London based Liu Bei announce the 'GOODNESS' EP, out Feb 2nd 2015 via the newly founded Museumgoer Records.

The EP follows a successful 2014 that saw the band release their first single via Transgressive Records imprint paradYse to universal critical acclaim, as well as opening for Dry the River on their autumn UK tour. In 2015 Liu Bei will once again be gracing the stage with a string of live dates kicking off in Oxford on 3rd February 2015 (see tour dates below).

​Liu Bei (pronounced Lou Bay and named after a truly exceptional Chinese Warlord) create gloriously addictive and epic music. The 'Goodness' EP showcases three new tracks, perfectly melding shoegazey energy with moments of ethereal delicacy, all tied together with effortless melodic hooks. Full of shimmers and bite, and littered with heartstring plucking lyrics, the songs are delivered with a ferocious intensity, both on record and in a live setting. From the Teenage Fanclub-esque pulse of lead track ‘Goodness' to the pure iceberg beauty of 'Fields', featuring backing vocals from Rachel Goswell of shoegaze legends Slowdive, the EP captures a band racing ahead of the pack.

3rd - The Cellar, Oxford
4th - The Shacklewell Arms, London
5th - The Eagle Inn, Manchester
6th - The Leadmill, Sheffield

Liu Bei - Goodness

City night skyline, an off-black darkness
It was the night of the living bastards
And all around me all I saw
Was our schoolchildren fleeing for holy war

Every inch of being was split into two
The worse for me and the better for you
So much humanity so close to home
The cross and the crescent, the blood and the bone

Oh concrete raft, let us run off our course
A trouble is coming, hurricane force
Each new election brings worse surprises
I'll leave you my kindness as the wind rises

I'll hear of no evil, I will speak of none
I'm standing for nothing until I see something done
Slide out to the suburbs, we white rageful mob
The global elite, the fire squad

Let the river burst open
Let the banks follow suit
Let's roar like we are thunder
Make the concrete ground move
But don't fuck with the message
Don't you stray from the line
Don't forget what you are made for
Eat sleep repeat and die

I can't believe the shit I read
Makes a paranoid twitching wreck of me
Anaesthetise me and my family
Wake us up when there's certainty
