Liar's Rosebush is a highly eclectic artist from Ottawa, Ontario. As the main project from Canadian electronic musician Matt Rosen, Liar's Rosebush has incorporated a wide range of stylistic elements over its eight year history. Early self-released material such as 2002's november ep drew directly from the rhythmic noise influences of imminent starvation and other ant-zen artists. These influences were central to Rosen's first label release, 2003's None Higher (Immanence UK), a CD-R album which combined the noise aesthetic with a hip-hop and drum'n'bass sensibility.

Subsequently, Liar's Rosebush has moved away from rhythmic-noise, incorporating more directly the influence of jungle, hip-hop, and jazz.

During that time, Rosen has not released a solo record, instead focusing on live performance and numerous collaborations. He has performed at The Rhode Island Noise Festival, C.O.M.A. 3 & 4 festivals and Saturation Bombing 1 & 2 festivals as well as many other events. At Saturation Bombing 2, Liar's Rosebush performed with Scrape[dx]. This live collaboration led to them work together, releasing collect : erase on Hive Records and a limited edition release nonsense, released at the C.O.M.A. 4 festival.

In 2007, Liar's Rosebush released its first solo record in four years, circle the squares on Hive Records.
