BLACK VINYL LP. "In 2011, on a whim, Kinkel-Schuster went to visit Bryant in Bryant's hometown of Water Valley, Mississippi. They began writing songs and in three days the duo had recorded, with only one microphone, what would be their first full-length record as Water Liars, Phantom Limb. The record was originally released on February 28, 2012, by Pennsylvania record label Misra Records. According to the Misra website, "Misra initially planned to work with Theodore and, assuming the Phantom Limb songs were mere outtakes under a different name, the Water Liars demos initially got pushed to the back burner. Kinkel-Schuster pleasantly persisted, however, insisting the project was vastly different and Misra must hear it. The label took to the recordings and released Phantom Limb." The record features 10 songs which feature a heavy distorted guitar sound, field recordings of frogs singing in a train yard and a sample of British occultist Aleister Crowley's recitation of his poem Atomic Ritual."
