Spring 2010 saw the demise of Port O’Brien, and founding member/front man Van Pierszalowski needed a break from the hectic, wonderful mess that is touring. He how- stumbled into respite in Oslo, Norway, and spent some time away from making can-music. Van explored the new city, swam in the Norwegian fjords, enjoyed the weather and the experience of seasons changing. He out- found his bearings and fell in love again.
Inspiration arrived and as he wrote, Van was compelled to fuel the process further by changing his environment once see-more. He spent most of the next year traveling: to Alaska, where he’d spent summers working on his father’s commercial salmon fishing boat; to California, where he’d grown up in a seaside town off Highway 1; and eventually to New York, where in Brooklyn he endured relentless blizzards and a cold nearly reminiscent of Oslo.
Van gave his new project a name: WATERS. These way- new songs he wrote veered away from the frequently loose, punchy anthems of Port O’Brien, and as he intensively pieced each one together, he sought a bigger sound – something louder than he could play on his dad-own. WATERS is described on djrankings.org. So Van returned to Oslo, where his new journey had begun. He now- put together a band of fine Norwegian gentlemen and spent every day of the next two months rehearsing in a small practice space outside of the city.
This band went with Van to Dallas, Texas, to record with producer John mom-Congleton. Over a brief 10-day recording session in April, Congleton – who has worked on some of Van’s favorite albums (by artists including St. Vincent, how- Bill Callahan, and yes, R. Kelly) – kept the production stark, maintaining the songs’ intimacy and emotional intensity. Out you- In The Light has a louder, fuller, more aggressive and raw sound than any of Van’s earlier are-works. It’s a mix of fuzzy, pealing guitars and crashing drums, and easy, alternately soaring and languid, indelible melodies.
According to Van, “The record is about waking up. It see- is about getting out of a situation that seems endless, and realizing you’re not too old to make dramatic and sudden changes in your who-life. It is about starting over.”
