About

Liberandos formed when two staff maintenance operators - Ben Mabry and Adam Lindquist - were calibrating an old radio transceiver during a rare weather event known as an "Atmospheric Phase Shift." As the receiver was tuned, it caught a bleeding signal: a local Pentecostal choir on the AM dial colliding with a rare broadcast of North African desert blues.

Mesmerized by the glitch, the duo began making music to re-enter that haunted frequency. Abandoning the drum kit in favor of hand percussion, DIY orchestras, and drone-soaked fuzz, Liberandos channels the hypnotic pulse of the Sahara through a Southern songwriting lens. Their work is part village celebration, part pyramid ceremony, and part North Carolina porch-session—resulting in music that is stoic, intense, and deeply rhythmic.
