Die dänische Experimental-Pop-Band Alcoholic Faith Mission meldet sich Ende des Monats mit einem Album zurück. Am 24. Februar soll der vierte Langspieler "Ask Me This" via Pony Rec/Rough Trade in die Plattenläden eures Vertrauens gelangen. Die Platte wurde gemeinsam mit Tom McFall eingespielt, der bereits Indie-Größen wie R.E.M. und Weezer produzierte. Hier könnt ihr bereits vorab bereits in das Video zu "Into Pieces" sehen, bei dem die Skandinavier ihren gewohnten Sound spielen, der die motor.de-Redaktion schon einmal mit sakralen Synthies und Gesangsflächen bezauberte . Außerdem könnt ihr euch hier das Albumcover sowie das Video zum ersten Song ...

Finally back in the Bay Area and now a resident of San Francisco, Van Pierszalowski’s new project WATERS (formerly of Port O’Brien) joined us for our most recent Neighborhood Session in the heart of SOMA. Located behind the Holy Cow! …

Gomez Addams For those who like : Dr. Dog, Port O'Brien Cleveland, OH's Gomez Addams is an indie rock artist who tends towards the folk/roots end of the spectrum.  What sets him apart, however, is the healthy dose of trippy humour brings.  His album Summer Viking  sounds like Dr. Dog covering The Flaming Lips . Listen to it here: <p>&lt;a href="http://gomezaddams.bandcamp.com/album/summer-viking"&gt;Summer Viking by Gomez Addams&lt;/a&gt;</p>

Words: Saam Das Our top 50 albums of 2011 list continues.... Links to the other parts: 50-31 // 30-21 // 20-11 // 10-1 30) PJ Harvey - 'Let England Shake' Surprisingly low in this list considering its universal acclaim, including winning the Mercury Music Prize and more importantly, gaining a 9.5/10 review from Simon . Ahem. Perhaps its resonance has been soured by an over-saturation? Nonetheless, one of the year's most solid offerings. 29) Kurt Vile - 'Smoke Ring For My Halo' 'Smoke Ring For My Halo' has been something of a breakthrough for this solo artist from Philadelphia. His fourth album, and ...

Continuing our Neighborhood Session series with Noise Pop, we’re excited to kick off 2012 with a secret set with WATERS. We’re gearing up for an intimate night with Van Pierszalowski’s (formerly of Port O’Brien) new outfit in the heart of SoMa …

I think I made a mistake not seeing WATERS when they came through in both June and October for shows at Mercury Lounge. In a live setting, the band’s songs have a raw energy that wasn’t fully captured on the band’s debut CD and frontman Van Pierszalowski plays guitar with an intensity that reminds me of Evan Dando when The Lemonheads were first starting out. The band stuck primarily to the upbeat, guitar and drums powered rock numbers from their recently released debut album, Out in the Light , but slowed things down toward the end of their ...

The demise of Port O’Brien may well be our biggest musical downer of the year, but Van Pierszalowski’s new project Waters is making up for some of that disappointment. Hard on the heels of his excellent debut album Out In The Light comes this helter-skelter cover of Nirvana’s Stay Away where the ramshackle intensity and [...]

The former Port O'Brien frontman steps out on his own Operating in choppy waves has always been Van Pierszalowski's M.O., but for the first time, he's sailing at high speeds instead of rocking gently in the storm. First, the efforts of his band Port O'Brien shook the foundations of rock n' roll with salty riffs and splashes of seafaring emotion. It was refreshing to have something so simple in concept, and so complex in execution. The mythology of Pierszalowksi became inseparable from the so

Waters is the new band from Van Pierszalowski, former member of recently defunct California indie-folkers Port O’Brien, and according to most of the blurb accompanying Out In The Light, this album is pretty much a product of his restless wanderings following the demise of his old band. Formed in...

After the breakup of Port O'Brien, front man Van Pierszalowski found inspiration for this solo project WATERS. With their debut "Out In The Light", the band maintains a wavering fragility within a rough-and-tumble pileup of instrumentation and turns it up to 11.

A huge thanksgiving mix. Mixed mixture mix - meaning it really is a mixture. Some oldies, some newbies. Born Gold is a interesting hyperactive musical act that gives its music for free over here . The music video for this powerful and active track is nothing short of being very good. Have a look . Freddie Gibbs gives Cults a tweak, awesome mix of their track Bad Things . One of the best albums of the year must be the awkward, eclectic, surprising and beautiful album These Wings by Wiseblood . Their track in the mix is simply a excellent example of how good this ...

After the breakup of American indie folk five piece Port O' Brien, frontman Van Pierszalowski (to be

Die Post-Grunge-Kombo Waters hat das Video zum Titel "Back To You" veröffentlicht. Dieser stammt von ihrem Anfang September veröffentlichten Langspieldebüt " Out In The Light ", das via City Slang die hiesigen Plattenregale erreichte. Erst kurz zuvor musste die Kombo um Ex- Port O'Brien -Sänger Van Pierszalowski ihre Europa-Tour krankheitsbedingt absagen, revanchierte sich bei den Fans allerdings mit einer intimen KEXP-Session ( motor.de berichtete ). Im neuen Video sieht man die positiven Seiten des Touralltags, die von nackten Hinterteilen, ekstatischem Tanzen bis hin zum schweißtreibenden Auftritt reichen. Überzeugt euch selbst: Waters – "Back To You" Nach den beiden Alben " All We Could Do ...

Nachdem Van Pierszalowski samt neuer Band Waters die anstehenden Deutschland-Termine krankheitsbedingt absagen musste, gibt es quasi als kleines Trostpflaster eine Session beim Seattler Radiosender KEXP zu sehen. Dort präsentierte er den Titel "O Holy Break Of Day", der sich auf seinem Anfang September via City Slang veröffentlichten Album " Out In The Light " befindet. Zuvor gab es bereits die Verfilmung des Titels "For The One" in doppelter Ausführung zu sehen: einerseits akustisch und andererseits als reguläres Video . Macht euch an dieser Stelle ein Bild der intimen KEXP-Performance, bei der Pierszalowski auf herzerwärmende Art seine Mutter grüßt: Waters – "O Holy Break Of ...
