Waters
Waters was formed in 2011 in Oslo, Norway by Van Pierszalowski. He put together a band to record their first record “Out in the Light” with John Congleton in Dallas. The record was released by TBD Records. New York City NPR affiliate WFUV featured the band on their Alternate Side program. The band was also featured in a NYLON Magazine Band Crush feature.
After finishing school and coming off of years on the road supporting former music projects, Van Pierszalowski decided to live and work in San Francisco, allowing himself to stand still for the first time in ages. The calm gave way to creative restlessness and the result was a new band and a new sound in the form of Waters. Earlier in the year the band released the single “Got To My Head” which was hailed a “big high five of a song” by Stereogum and a song with “enough youthful sizzle to make fans eager for new music” by BuzzbandsLA.
In 2014, they released their follow-up EP called “It All Might Be OK” which was produced by Ryan Rabin of Grouplove. In October 2014 they were named one of the 10 New Artists You Need to Know by Rolling Stone. NPR affiliate KCRW also featured Waters on their program Morning Becomes Eclectic. A video was released for their single “I Feel Everything” and premiered on Billboard (magazine). They toured to promote the EP with Tegan & Sara, Smallpools, and Magic Man.
In 2015 they released their second full length album “What’s Real” on Vagrant Records.
