Water Liars

Water Liars is an American band steeped in the tradition of heart-wrenching alt-country and ragged indie rock, with a keen sense of melody that gives their songs a haunting quality. The band was formed in 2011 by Justin Kinkel-Schuster, lead vocalist and guitarist, and Andrew Bryant, drummer and backing vocalist, after a night of sharing music and recording a song that would eventually be on their debut album. Their organic chemistry burgeoned into a full project, leading them to land on the name Water Liars, inspired by a story in Barry Hannah's collection "Airships".

Over the years, Water Liars has honed a sound that is both raw and fervent, a vehicle for emotionally resonant songwriting. The release of 'Phantom Limb' in 2012 helped solidify their reputation for crafting poignant narratives within their music, a trait further exemplified in their self-titled album, 'Water Liars', in 2014. This album, along with 'Wyoming' (2013), and the reverb-soaked allure of 'Moon over Madison', carries their hauntingly beautiful aesthetic forward. Their authentic and impassioned approach to music has gathered a dedicated fanbase, eager for the band's explorations of love, loss, and existential yearning, performed with a raw edge that captures the spirit of the American South. The "Water Liars | OurVinyl Sessions" release serves as a soulful testament to their live performance capability and showcases the intimate, gritty, and oftentimes cathartic experience that defines a Water Liars show.
