DOWNLOAD : Waters - "For The One" (from Out in the Light ) Waters is the new project from ex-Port O'Brien front man Van Pierszalowski. Following the demise of that band last year, he took a break from making music and ended up living in Oslo, Norway. After some time off, he began writing again, then traveled most of the next year to Alaska, California, and Brooklyn, NY, before returning to Oslo to record the album with a band he put together. The new album, [...]
Back in July , we updated you on Van Pierszalowski of the late (and possibly lamented) NoCal indie band Port O'Brien. Pierszalowski moved to Norway for a while, charted a new musical course and, presto, Waters was born. Waters' debut album "Out in the Light" came out this week, and the flow of hooks and melodies that gave Port O'Brien its 5 minutes in the indie spotlight remains unchecked. More notable, though, are the urgency, energy and emotion Pierszalowski crunches into every chord and chorus. Similarly, director Allen Cordell packs a lot of imagery into the video for [...]
This new video from former Port O'Brien front man Van Pierszalowski , now recording under the moniker WATERS , may well be the most bizarre video you will ever see. Featuring a crazed barber, old couples making out and plenty of psychedelic imagery, For The One is quite an experience. Based around the concept of a twisted, distorted dream, it's a far from serious production, and will most likely leave you wondering what the hell you've just spent the last four minutes watching. Thankfully, the track itself is a brilliantly energetic slice of guitar [...]
Back in May, we posted " For The One ," a single from WATERS, the new project from ex-Port O'Brien frontman Van Pierszalowski. That fired-up college-rock track now has a video, and it's all about the freaky shit that happens when you hang your dreamcatcher up backwards. So yes, that means it's another music video built from random imagery, but it's nicely shot and smartly edited, and it ends up being a fun ride, not a wallow in pretension. Also, it features knife-wielding demons, and those things are always a good time. Watch it and download the track below. [...]
De Ketelmuziek-mailbox stroomt zo langzaam aan vol. Artiesten, promotie-mensen en organisatoren van concerten willen graag onze aandacht. En wat zit er veel rotzooi tussen al die mail. Dat gaat van een mail over 'post-rock virtuosos' Empty Space Orchestra, hip-hoppers met een gouden toekomst voor zich tot een nieuwe song van Grace Jones met de weinig belovende titel Well Well Well Dub'. Gelukkig komt er ook wel 'ns iets interessants langs in de mailbox. Zoals Colossal Gospel , twee jongens uit Alabama. Natuurlijk is er veel aan te merken op Circles , [...]
Port 'o' Brien was brilliant and when they faded in to the surf a whole nugget of people cried a silent tear. Have no fear though, Port 'o' Brien singer Van Pierszalowski has travelled the world and from his experiences has culled together this little bit of rock 'n' roll heaven. Go check out WATERS with Mister [...]
WATERS is Van Pierszalowski's band. Perhaps you know him from Port O'Brien ? His new album, Out In The Light is set to be released on September 20th via TBD Records . Here is a track of "fuzzy" guitars, "crashing" drums, and "indelible" melodies. Listen. Downloadable: O Holy Break Of Day (mp3) Sorry, no preorder info just yet. WATERS is on the internet WATERS is on Tumblr [...]

WATERS - "O Holy Break Of Day" Following the dissolution of beloved SF rock band Port O'Brien last year, Van Pierszalowski moved to Oslo, Norway, before spending time visiting Alaska, California, and New York. All of that traveling helped inspire him to write a batch of songs for a new project Pierszalowski is calling WATERS . WATERS - "For the One" As you can hear in the songs above, there's a more decidedly rock and roll vibe to WATERS than Port O'Brien had. [...]
Well, we're just about halfway with the reposts... Today, we feature volumes 9 and 10, which were originally posted in August 2009. Volume 10 holds a special place in this blog's history, because that's when Aaron from Tsururadio offered to post the mix on his blog. That started a bit of following and it has grown ever since. Aaron's moved onto Tsuruphoto, following his passion for photography. He now has a nudie-zine featuring some edgy but tasteful art, several videos to promote the zine and Tsuruphoto, and the occasional mixtape. We owe a big thanks for his early support, and [...]
You might know Van Pierszalowski from Port O' Brien , but he's beginning to make waves of his own under the name of WATERS . He's already tossed out one tune earlier this year, and now here comes another stunner from the songwriter, prepping for his debut, Out in the Light , which comes out via TBD Records on September 20th. His voice seems to waiver just the slightest bit, giving a hint of an edge to the gentle track that slowly begins [...]

[Recently crossing our radar ...] The Features , "Rambo" — The Nashville quartet's fist-pumping take on indie blues has been a staple of our playlists for a long time , and its second album for Kings of Leon's Serpents and Snakes label, "Wilderness" (out next week), does nothing to diminish our enthusiasm. Matt Pelham wails like he means it, and considering the ups and downs he's had in the business, he probably does. And thankfully, "Wilderness" sounds [...]
So, five go camping. Well, not quite yet; we do need a tent first – or at least one that fits us all. The last time I went camping was with MM's predecessor. Two nights in the Black Mountains of Wales in torrential rain. We awoke in water. That cured any affection I had towards life under canvas, and to him. Still, life moves on. I'm quite looking forward to a different sort of camping with the sprats. All previous excursions were (quite rightly) centred around music, namely festivals. Speaking of which, I was returning from a day [...]
Port O'Brien - Oslo Campfire Buy US: Buy UK:
Een nieuw album van Herman Düne is toch elke keer weer iets om naar uit te kijken. Vanaf de late jaren '90 brengt de band een constante stroom fijne albums uit. Aanvankelijk was hun aanpak erg lo-fi, in de loop van de jaren kreeg de lichtvoetigheid steeds meer ruimte in hun werk, vooral op de albums Not on Top en Next Year in Zion. Strange Moosic is de titel van de nieuwste plaat van de band rond David-Ivar Herman Dune. Het eerste dat opvalt is dat de lichtvoetigheid iets naar de achtergrond is verdwenen. De jongens lijken iets [...]
