Биография

The narrative songwriting project of Brighton musician James Joshua Li (also of Ministry of Interior Spaces), Liance tells honest personal stories through concrete lyrics and lush arrangements. 
 Liance’s first album, Bronze Age of the Nineties (2015) is a stripped down high-context folk album about the transformative power of memory. 
 The Rat House (2018) is a dark folk EP serving as an appendix to Bronze Age of the Nineties. It tells short stories from West Michigan of domestic escape, ending relationships, and college campus tragedy. 
 This Painting Doesn't Dry (2021) is Liance's second album. It's about the intersection between personal experience and human history and the infinite meaning within. While rooted in honest personal storytelling, This Painting Doesn't Dry draws directly from seemingly disparate influences such as early 20th-century British painters, historic civil war, Marilynne Robinson, David Berman, Cindy Sherman, Adrian Tomine, climate action, and the Black Death. 
 (PS. I wrote all the above in third person - it feels rather strange and unbecoming)
