Release Notes:
--------
There are moments in many of the Water LiarsÆ songs when lead singer Justin
Peter Kinkel-SchusterÆs voice seems to cut through the atmosphere, sharp and
clear and hauntingly beautiful. The Mississippi band puts that voice front and
center on dark, Southern folk rock songs that could easily leave you breathless.
Now, with the release of Kinkel-SchusterÆs debut solo record Constant Stranger,
we are treated to 11 tracks of that familiar voice, sometimes a wild howl and
others a low, quiet quiver. Solo suits him, putting his detailed and poetic
lyrics more in the spotlight than ever before.
Like in the Water Liars, Kinkel-Schuster casts a messy light on life with his
songwriting. Painting unflattering portraits of being a flawed man with that
undeniable Southern identity, the songs on Constant Stranger will break your
heart if you let them. While the quieter moments are fewer and further between
on Water Liars records, Kinkel-Schuster brings laser focus to them on this
album. HeÆs less concerned with rocking out, hard and loud, and more interested
in storytelling.
Constant StrangerÆs high points are when Kinkel-Schuster shows his knack for
melody. ôHeaded Southö, ôWhose Will Be Doneö, ôMoccasin Bonesö and ôLaid Lowö
have that picked-up pace with a driving rhythm, like true road songs. ThereÆs
nostalgia and hints of memoir in these songs, and though theyÆre some of the
catchier ones on Constant Stranger, their examination of solitude is just as
raw. On ôMoccasin Bonesö he sings of disintegrating into a shell of a person
following a breakup, and on ôHeaded Southö he is the one to do the leaving,
relishing in the loneliness.
All the while, Kinkel-Schuster maintains his deft atmospheric observations.
ThereÆs a distinct sense of place on Constant Stranger that is impossible to
ignore. Whether itÆs a mention of the moon and the wind in the Mississippi
Delta, or ôa sky the color of dark melon rind,ö or ôsmoke and gravelö,
Kinkel-Schuster is aá deeply visual storyteller.
On slow, folksy stunner ôThe Dirt, the Bells and Iö Kinkel-Schuster comes to
terms with his own mortality. He reaches a pure simplicity, as he becomes one
with the earth. Like an old prophet offering up his last words, thereÆs an old
world charm to this track, and itÆs easy to see that Kinkel-Schuster is in touch
with both his own roots and his influences, musical and literary. Whether
channeling Jason Molina or William Faulkner, Kinkel-Schuster carves out his own
identity among them with Constant Stranger.
