Liance

**Liance** is the brainchild of Seattle-based musician and storyteller Michael Charlton Anderson, serving up genre-blurring indie rock steeped in literary wit and existential musings. Known for crafting concept albums that feel like fever-dream collages of philosophy, art history, and millennial angst, Anderson’s project thrives on sardonic lyricism (see *Unread New Yorker Tab*’s media satire) and shape-shifting arrangements—from the apocalyptic romance of *Love is the Destroyer* to the twangy reinvention of *Too Beautiful to Destroy (Country Version)*. Recent releases like *The Rat House* and *The Decameron - Alex Kozobolis Rework* cement Liance’s knack for transforming highbrow references into darkly catchy anthems, like a book club meeting at a dive bar. Collaborations and reworks (like Kozobolis’ glitchy take on *The Decameron*) highlight the project’s communal, ever-evolving spirit in the Pacific Northwest’s DIY scene.
