Thalia Zedek started her career as a musician in the group Dangerous Birds, whose 1982 single "Alpha Romeo" is a rare find these days. Also played in Uzi, Live Skull & Come. It rightfully put Thalia in the company of other challenging female pioneers such as Kim Gordon, and was reissued by Matador in the mid-1990's to much acclaim. 'Liars and Prayers' is the masterwork of her thus far impressive career. Her voice and songs have never been stronger and the full band and the recording by Andrew Schneider (Unsane, Cave In) allow her to combine the delicacy of the arrangements of her trio with the force that was her band Come.
