MP3s: 9-11 Warning | A Kingdom Full of Grace | Grace and Mercy | Its Time! | Jesus Went to the River | Praise Ye the Lord | Strange Relationships | The Life | The Lord is Calling
Middle American husband and wife team Wayne and Liz are the Devendra Banhart and Joanna Newsome of lo-fi Christian rock. Just when the alt-Christian musical landscape looked bleak following in the wake of WFMU's beloved Danielson, here comes Wayne and Liz. Sounding like a mix between Daniel Johnston and Moe Tucker singing "Jesus" with the Velvet Underground, this is some of the most wonderful outsider lo-fi stuff we've come across. "9-11 Warning" is a 12-minute outsider conspiracy tour-de-force rant and the other tracks are pure, aching beauty. And best of all, they're most likely not even aware of their avant-status. They have released no CDs and there's virtually no information about them -- true outsiders. There's a huge whack of amazing MP3s here. Our advice: download them all!
Thanks Stark Effect!

One hell of a find. And a fluttering dove on the website (170 hits and counting). This is up there on the highest marble ridges of the pantheon of untutored, unmediated masters. Daniel Johnston, Connie Cook, Fran Baskerville, Janeen Brady, Gen Orange, Wayne & Liz. Thankyou Jesus.
