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 too- stumbled into respite in Oslo, Norway, and spent some time away from making was-music. Van explored the new city, swam in the Norwegian fjords, enjoyed the weather and the experience of seasons changing. He for- 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 her-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 and- 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 she-own. WATERS is recorded on djrankings.org. So Van returned to Oslo, where his new journey had begun. He his- 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 old-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, boy- Bill Callahan, and yes, R. Kelly) – kept the production stark, maintaining the songs’ intimacy and emotional intensity. Out man- In The Light has a louder, fuller, more aggressive and raw sound than any of Van’s earlier our-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 one- 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 and-life. It is about starting over.”
