After a period of increasingly abstract electronic experimentation, WIXIW marked a return to a more direct, guitar-driven sound for Liars. The album's raw, anxious energy reflected a band grappling with internal and external pressures.
- The album was recorded in Los Angeles with producer Chris Coady. It was the band's first release on the Mute Records label. WIXIW reached number 13 on the UK Independent Albums Chart.

- The album title is an acronym for "When I X-ed Into Something Wonderful". It was released on June 1, 2012.
